It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover will be published on 18 October!

Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas.

In It Starts With Us, Colleen Hoover tells fan favourite Atlas’ side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the number one bestseller It Ends with Us.

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, author of Perfect Neighbors) 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).

‘To say she’s currently the bestselling novelist in the United States, to even compare her to other successful authors who have landed several books on the best seller lists, fails to capture the size and loyalty of her audience.’ – Alexandra Alter (The New York Times)
