Thoughts: I preferred this book over the first book (It Ends With Us), as I felt this book was a little bit more upbeat and it was nice seeing Lily end up with Atlas & happy. I loved the new characters that were introduced in this book! This book had too much Ryleβ¦ yuck. I loved that Atlas and Lily started a new life together and Lily got the happy ending she deserved. I loved the ending although I do feel a section with Lilyβs POV would have been good. There are a lot of opinions of CoHo and this series so I appreciate this book isnβt for everyone. If you enjoy an emotional romance, reconnecting high school l overs and a happy ending you will enjoy this book.
Synopsis: Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil co-parenting 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 lifeβand Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughterβs life.
