It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover
3.5
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Was it ground breaking? No. Did it read like an extended epilogue, 100%! Was it entirely necessary, questionable! But did I enjoy it, and it didn’t make me laugh, smile, feel hopeful and lighthearted? Yes! It Ends With Us was a complete story and I felt like the ending told us that Lily and Atlas were going to end up together.

This was just exactly what fans wanted… a happy ever after. Just with the bumps that came alone with them starting a relationship because of both of their pasts. However, I feel like the ending was completely rushed. 

SPOILERS AHEAD… I would’ve loved to see Atlas reading his vows to Lily and her reaction. Or Lily commenting on his vows or just them together sharing a moment at the end. Not just Atlas and his vows to Lily. I love me some Atlas but wasn’t the story supposed to be about them finally coming together and their happy ever after?
