“It Starts with Us” By Colleen Hoover Review

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting 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.

Even thou I liked the first book in this so called two book series, I gotta say that writing this book was very unnecessary to write and even more unnecessary to publish for people to read. Because its so much worse than the first book.

The entire plot of this book is the main female character being afraid to say and do anything because she is afraid of her ex-husband. Which really annoyed me because she was acting like a 5 year old girl who was afraid that her dad would take away her iPad rather than a grown woman. And her ex-husband, you know the one who pushed her down the stairs and tried to rape her, has still keys to her apartment and walks into it like he owns the place. Like how big of a coward is the female character ? That she is afraid to ask for the keys her ex husband has  and tell him to stop showing up unannounced ?

The guy the main character is just as bad as she is. Because he goes all along with her idea of going into those secret “dates” and hide around like they are a pair of teenagers who aren’t allowed to date yet. But also the guy is said to be the Gordon Ramsay of this book, but all he does in this book is sit in his office and look at the pictures of the female character. 

The writing style in this book feels like it was written by a the most girly teenager who thinks that she has her life figured out even when its clear for everyone reading this book thats the opposite.

I have nothing good to say about this book (nor about Colleen Hoover as an author in general) other than dont read this book or any of Colleen Hoover’s books because they aren’t worth the money spend on them and even less worthy of the time you will spend reading. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5
