IT STARTS WITH US It Ends with Us, Book 2

Narrators Colin Donnell and Olivia Song deliver Hoover's highly anticipated second-chance-at-love sequel. Both Lily and Atlas are finally free of other entanglements and in the same place. Now the only obstacle to their romance is Lily's violent ex-husband, Ryle. There is a mismatch between both narrators' calm, professional narration and the disturbing verbal and physical behaviors Ryle displays. The audio struggles to achieve emotional intensity. Otherwise, Song's narration is understated and contemplative as Lily pieces together her past and present feelings about Atlas. Song uses a lighter, sweet voice for Lily's best friend and differentiates male voices in conversation. Donnell makes Atlas's unswerving devotion to Lily seem realistic and uses age-appropriate voices for Atlas's half brother and his 11-year-old "therapist," Theo.
