It began with Atlas before ending with us. In this much awaited follow-up to the #1 Sunday Times bestseller It Ends with Us, Colleen Hoover provides fan favourite Atlas's perspective on the events and discusses what happens next. Just as Lily and her ex-husband Ryle were getting used to their amicable co-parenting routine, she unexpectedly runs into Atlas, her first love, once more. She is thrilled that for once, time is on their side after over two years apart, and she says yes right away when Atlas asks her out. Although they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life, and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will detest being with, which soon dampens her excitement.
