It Starts with Us: A Novel

I’m so sad I loved it ends with us… but this story had NO plot and was VERY under developed. I wish Colleen had sat on this for awhile and fleshed out a true plot. There was a lot of potential , a lot of great characters to work with and Just fell flat. I’m so bummed I hope she does a third one thst she actually fleshes out and redeems herself and these characters that deserved better

Overhyped and underdeveloped….

This was so disappointing and boring to be honest There was absolutely no plot

Not as good as the first. Plot was blah but it was nice to close up some loose ends lingering from the first book.

So disappointed- loved It Ends With Us and was looking forward to It Starts With Us but did not enjoy it very much at all - did not live up to all of the hype!!!!

This was so so good. I think I had a huge smile on my face the whole time. So much love I'm this book.

I felt this book was rushed. There was no plot and I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever did. A lot of repetition and wordy parts that just seemed to be filler. I fast forwarded through some of it.

I enjoyed this book

I loved the book I think it was really good and sweet

I enjoyed the book but thought the ending was a bit flat.

I love all of Hoovers books.

Colleen hoover is my new favorite

Loved it!

Great follow up!

I loved it! I laughed and cried.

The first book in the series was good so I looked forward to the sequel. However, It Starts with Us, was ridiculous! I had to skip most of it just to get to the end because the plot was so unrealistic and schmaltzy!

The female narrator makes the book come off even more immature than the writing.

I really liked Ms Hoover's book " It Ends With Us", but this book," It Starts With Us" doesn't have much tension, action or suspense. I kept waiting for something significant to happen and then it was over. Lesley T

I enjoyed this book. I don’t want to spoil it to people but I love a happy ending. I also like how this book was more about Atlas.

This book felt so real. It had the good and the bad and I just can’t get enough of Lilly and Atlas!

I couldn’t put it down! Great narrator great story!

Repetitive and quite predictable…much preferred It ends with us

Perfect

I thought it was very toned & very remarkable

The book was lame and the narrators voice change when voicing Atlas was so jarring and unnecessary

I enjoyed this and the narrator was very good. A little mature, but it was not rated for the very young.

First of Colleen Hoovers books that didn’t have me not wanting to put my book down. Took me months to read, which then finally led me to download the audiobook for it. Finished it thanks to the audiobook, but there really was no plot. Did it “start” with Lily and Atlas? Or was the title meant for Josh? I’m pretty disappointed.

Super predictable and boring.. So disappointing because the 1st book really made you think and feel a certain way for characters where is this book was just exactly what you figured.

Slow and need more plot

amazing

Light read, nothing exciting but feel good follow up.

Loved the book

It's okay...I'm left wanting a little more from the story line. Boring and cheesy at times and I am not hard to entertain. Honestly, the book feels rushed like a cash would have waited longer to be able to really feel the passion between Atlas and Lilly. Can a book be lack Lustre?

It was extremely boring and read like a self help book. The story lacked climax and substance and had a lot of repetition. The narrator was to perfect and precise.

Loved the book! Can't wait for the next!

Loved this series. Full of passion. Narrators were great to listen to.

Loved how this book wrapped everything up!

Love it!! A very real story in the lives of so many!

I absolutely loved this book. I kind of wish it was longer

great book for the second. good read if you're a fan of the first

absolutely loved it!!
