 “ I can draw a seedling with two tiny branches. Yours and mine. We’ll be on our own brand-new, tiny family tree—one that starts with us.”

I think this book is perfect for those who wanted more of Atlas content from the first book, It Ends With Us. If yes, then you’ll love this one as much as I do!

Told in dual POV, I really enjoy Atlas’s POV. We got to know more about his feelings and thoughts about some of the flashbacks memories with Lily and how he deals with the unexpected news – Josh (I absolutely love seeing he’s trying to forge this new connection with Josh).

I’m really happy for Lily and also proud of her to dare herself in taking that step towards the future she wanted for herself and her daughter (baby Emerson is so adorable btw!)
As for Ryle….I guess it’s true that you can’t change other people. That person needed to realize first that they need to change in order to do that.

Overall, I’m really satisfied with this sequel. This book is a full package of heart-warming, sweet and hilarious moments. It makes me laugh, smile and touched while reading this book.
I’m really looking forward to read more of Colleen’s books in the future!
