From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and All Your Perfects, comes a “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) about a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance who can’t stop thinking about her first love.

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down” (USA TODAY).

Then, in It Starts with Us, read Atlas’s side of the story as Colleen Hoover explores more of Atlas’s past and what comes next for him, Lily, and Ryle.

Praise for It Ends With Us

‘Colleen Hoover reminds readers that love is a fragile thing, built from courage, hope, and tears. Every person with a heartbeat should read this book.’
KAMI GARCIA, #1 New York Times bestselling author

It Ends with Us isn’t an ordinary love story. It will break your heart while filling you with hope, and by the end of this gripping, pulse-pounding novel, you’ll be smiling through your tears.’
SARAH PEKKANEN, #1 New York Times bestselling author

It Ends with Us is a brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it. No one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover.’
ANNA TODD, New York Times bestselling author

Praise for It Starts With Us

‘This sequel to BookTok phenom It Ends with Us stands on its own, a portrait of the dynamics of domestic violence.’ PEOPLE

‘Hoover breaks hearts all over again in this stunning sequel to her bestselling It Ends with Us. . . The author’s talent for creating nuanced and empathetic characters is on full display, and fans will be especially excited to finally hear Atlas’s side of the story. Hoover is as unafraid as ever to explore the darker and more vulnerable aspects of love, expertly demonstrating the soul-deep trust required to reach happily ever after.’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

‘Through palpable tension balanced with glimmers of hope, Hoover beautifully captures the heartbreak and joy of starting over.’ KIRKUS REVIEWS
