The first book, It Ends With Us, goes over Lily's relationship with Ryle who is abusive. This second book, It Starts With Us, goes over Lily recovering and fighting for the person she's wanted to date for a long time coming. The love between Atlas and Lily has never died down, and they have loved each other ever since high school. It's one of those high school romance stories that is very rare now a days. Lily and Atlas go their separate ways after high school, but they never stopped loving each other. Several years later, Atlas meets Lily at his restaurant while she's on a date with Ryle (first book). BAM. The kindle to the fire lights itself to a full blazing fire. Lily can't stop thinking about Atlas. She can't stop thinking about him even more when Ryle slaps her and pushes her down the stairs. Atlas helps Lily in the first book, but they go their separate ways again. Oh no. Atlas wasn't losing Lily again, so he starts talking to her and eventually starts dating her. You'll have to find out what happens next in this new book! In this episode, I review the book, discuss what I liked and disliked, and any lessons I received from the book.
