Starts with us

It begins with us by author Colin Hoover ... As soon as Lily and her ex-husband Ryle settle into a fixed routine for caring for their daughter Emerson, Lily coincidentally meets her former lover Atlas, after two years since their last encounter. Joy overwhelms Atlas, thinking that the time has become suitable for them to truly exchange love, so he offers Lily to go out together on a date. Lily's enthusiasm quickly diminishes in front of her feeling of awe and anxiety, as she remembers that her ex-husband Ryle still holds an influential place in her life. Perhaps Ryle does not like Lily dating any other man except him, but Atlas Corgan specifically remains the man who cannot tolerate his presence, near or far, in the life of his former wife and her infant daughter. The chapters are narrated alternately from Lily's and Atlas's perspectives, giving the reader a deeper insight into Atlas's past life, while he reconnects with Lily and rekindles the love story that brought them together in their teenage years. Meanwhile, he tries to express his feelings.
