It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover

Such A Great Author

Oh, Colleen! You did it again girl! I cannot stress how much this book was needed! Thank you BookTok for pressing Colleen Hoover to write this for Lily and Atlas! I honestly enjoyed it so so much! Like everything about this book was needed! Lily did some self growth in this book, Atlas step up to the plate for his family, that he wasn’t even aware of, Ryle pulled himself together enough, it all was just GREAT! I didn’t ugly cry until the ending almost, at the most giving statement in the book. “It starts with us,” and BAWLED my eyes out! I won’t give away too many spoilers and say what that was about, but iykyk! 🥹🥲

I cannot get over how great of an author Colleen Hoover really is. Like I didn’t randomly find her, people have been suggesting I read her books, for a while. So when I finally got into them, I couldn’t put it down. And oh! The acknowledgments got me too! When Colleen Hoover said she was thankful for her readers, boogers, and librarians for sharing their love for reading! Ahhh! Something just hit me in the feels and I lost it again, because I’m sharing my love for reading by posting this book review for her books, and I have nothing bad to say about her books, other than some endings are rush. But hey, coming from someone who hasn’t ended a story of her own, I cannot talk too much about that 😂 ugh I just love the three novels I’ve read so far by her, and I suggest that if you’re getting into Hoover books, you should start with these three because they suck you in so fast and they do not disappoint!

I have another author, who’s books get me like that as well, Tara Sue Me, she’s really good, but Colleen Hoover, comes at a close second. I will also say, someone in my family asked if Colleen Hoover was the “new” Sarah Dessen and I will say, it does bring me back to the Sarah Dessen novels, even those were young adult novels, and these are adult, but the obsession I had with Dessen as a teen was probably just about the same for Hoover, her books are like the big sisters to Dessen’s books! Maybe one day I’ll even go back and read some do the Sarah Dessen novels!

Star Rating:

I would give this book another 5 out of 5! Better yet 10/10 recommend! You have got to read this book, and really do suggest reading It Ends With Us first before you start this one. She really did give us the love story that Lily and Atlas needed! Lily deserved to be loved the correct way, and Atlas was the man for that! I also am so happy for Atlas and what he got to do for his family because he really did exactly what I would have done for my family as well. And it hits home just a little bit! But before I give anymore spoilers at 6am this morning, I leave you with this: GO READ HER BOOKS! Now!

Alright! There is it is folks! Good morning and I hope you guys have a great day while I draft some more for you all! Wasn’t planning on taking yesterday off but things happen! Life happens! Love you! GO FOLLOW THE BLOG + INSTAGRAM! See ya in the next one! 👋🏾 ✌🏾

And that’s the TEE👩🏾‍💻💙☕️
