About the book
Lily's daughter Emerson is eleven months old, and Lily is divorced from Ryle Kincaid. On a Boston street she unexpectedly meets Atlas Corrigan, a former lover, though they have little time to talk. She keeps thinking about him but worries how Ryle would take any contact. Atlas, meanwhile, runs restaurants that are being vandalized, and he is still wary of his estranged mother, Sutton. Narrated in alternating chapters by Lily and Atlas, this follow-up to It Ends with Us follows the two as they cautiously try to reconnect.
