Delving into the world of Colleen Hoover’s ‘It Ends with Us‘ series has been nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster for me, and I couldn’t be happier about it! The boxed set, comprising both ‘It Ends with Us’ and its compelling sequel, ‘It Starts with Us’, is a must-read for any fan of this captivating story revolving around Lily, Ryle, and Atlas.

In ‘It Ends with Us’, I found myself swept away by the raw emotion that enveloped Lily’s passionate relationship with the unyielding Ryle. However, when her long-lost love, Atlas, reappears, the romance suddenly becomes much more intricate and complex.

Fast forward to ‘It Starts with Us’, where we gain insights into Atlas’s past and learn what lies ahead for him, Lily, and Ryle. This powerful sequel provides a fresh perspective on the story, making it an engaging read that deepens our understanding of these characters.

What I appreciated most about this series is how Colleen Hoover delves into the complexities of human relationships, addressing themes such as love, abuse, and self-discovery in a thoughtful and sensitive manner. Her ability to create relatable characters and immerse readers in their emotional journeys is truly commendable.

That being said, I found certain parts of ‘It Starts with Us’ to be slightly predictable, which slightly diminished the impact of the narrative for me. Nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable read that complemented its predecessor beautifully.
