About this listen

Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favourite Atlas’s side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the #1 Sunday Times bestseller It Ends with Us

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil co-parenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.

But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.

Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas’s past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that “no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, bestselling author).

… and all of her books. Some have more detailed stories than others, but each one of has me captivated from beginning to end. It starts with us is no different, It has less of a story that IEWU, this doesn’t detract from it a great read. I love the characters, new and old, I feel invested in them, pure escapism.

I love Colleen Hoover…

I was so invested in this story having read the first book, I lapped up every emotion, every word. It was everything! This story kept me warm at night and totally entertained. I am so sad this book has come to an end and can truly say I can’t fault either book. I love Love and feel this uplifting story gives me hope In men.

I thought the voice that played atlas was amazing! Lilly voice sounded a little older than what I had imaged but it was still great. I fully believe that Theo and John carried this book. But I still enjoyed it overall

My thoughts on it starts with us.
