        The sequel to It Ends With Us <\/i>(2016) shows the aftermath of domestic violence through the eyes of a single mother.<\/p>\n

        Lily Bloom is still running a flower shop; her abusive ex-husband, Ryle Kincaid, is still a surgeon. But now they\u2019re co-parenting a daughter, Emerson, who’s almost a year old. Lily won\u2019t send Emerson to her father\u2019s house overnight until she\u2019s old enough to talk\u2014\u201cSo she can tell me if something happens\u201d\u2014but she doesn\u2019t want to fight for full custody lest it become an expensive legal drama or, worse, a physical fight. When Lily runs into Atlas Corrigan, a childhood friend who also came from an abusive family, she hopes their friendship can blossom into love. (For new readers, their history unfolds in heartfelt diary entries that Lily addresses to Finding Nemo <\/i>star Ellen DeGeneres as she considers how Atlas was a calming presence during her turbulent childhood.) Atlas, who is single and running a restaurant, feels the same way. But even though she\u2019s divorced, Lily isn\u2019t exactly free. Behind Ryle\u2019s veneer of civility are his jealousy and resentment. Lily has to plan her dates carefully to avoid a confrontation. Meanwhile, Atlas\u2019 mother returns with shocking news. In between, Lily and Atlas steal away for romantic moments that are even sweeter for their authenticity as Lily struggles with child care, breastfeeding, and running a business while trying to find time for herself. <\/p>\n

        Through palpable tension balanced with glimmers of hope, Hoover beautifully captures the heartbreak and joy of starting over.<\/p><\/div>\n
