It Starts with Us, Regretting You, and All Your Perfects, written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Anna Todd, is a “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it.” It tells the story of a young woman in a new relationship who can’t stop thinking about her first love.

Despite her struggles, Lily has never let them deter her from striving for the life she desires. She left the little village where she was raised to start her own business, move to Boston, and complete her undergraduate education. And everything in Lily’s life seems too good when she develops feelings for Ryle Kincaid, a stunning neurosurgeon.

Ryle is aggressive, obstinate, and perhaps a bit conceited. In addition, he is intelligent, sympathetic, and completely smitten with Lily. And it certainly doesn’t hurt how he looks in scrubs. Lily can’t stop thinking about him. However, Ryle’s total dislike of partnerships is unsettling. Lily can’t help but wonder what initially made him that way, even though she is now the exception to his “no dating” rule.

Thoughts of Atlas Corrigan, her first love and a reminder of the past she left behind, are as overwhelming as the issues surrounding her new connection. He was her protector and a kindred spirit. Everything Lily and Ryle have created is at jeopardy when Atlas unexpectedly reappears.

It Ends with Us is an honest, poignant, and kind book that is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper.” “The type of book that is passed down through the generations” (USA TODAY).
