Publisher’s Summary

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reminders of Him comes a riveting sequel to the “glorious and touching” (USA TODAY) that picks up where It Ends with Us concluded and shares what happens next for Lily and Atlas.

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.

Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the “gripping, pulse-pounding” (Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling author) bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas’s past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that “no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “Colleen Hoover never disappoints!”
I could not pause this. I pre-ordered and when it was uploaded to my library at 3:15 this morning; I was beside myself. Sleep was a distant thought. I don’t want to spoil this for anyone who haven’t listened yet; but until I heard THE END, my heart was in my throat anticipating that there would be tragic violence towards Atlas and or Lily.

5/5 stars — “Amazing!”
I was hooked when I read “It Ends With Us” and this book just makes my heart whole. Both books are written so well that words cannot even describe it! Highly recommend!

— Melanie Schneider, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Fantastic!”
I love this, but even more than the first. Especially after reading the first book and seen the movie the second was delicious.
