The main three issues with It Starts With Us were the lack of character development, weak writing style, and Hoover’s excessive comparison of Lily’s two love interests, Atlas and Ryle. It Starts With Us further develops the relationship between the three protagonists, utilizing its dual-point-of-view narration to explore the obstacles that Atlas and Lily face throughout the novel. However, the same cannot be said about its sequel. The first book, although it was not revolutionary or exceptionally enjoyable, had an interesting plot that kept one wanting to keep reading. Given that It Ends With Us is very poorly written literature, and had very mixed reviews and opinions, many avid readers had relatively low expectations for this novel. Most of It Ends With Us deals with Lily’s past romance with a kind but poor man named Atlas, and her current romance with a neurosurgeon named Ryle.
The two novels follow the story of Lily Bloom, a girl who grew up with a difficult childhood, throughout her journey into adulthood and romance.
It Starts With Us is the sequel to author Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, It Ends With Us, published in 2016 and recently popularized through social media platforms such as TikTok.
