It Ends with Us plot
The book follows the resilient Lily as she finds a romance with neurosurgeon Dr Ryle Kincaid, who the official synopsis notes is "assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant" but also "sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily".
However, Ryle is noted to have an aversion to relationships which is "disturbing", and Lily tries to get to the root of Ryle's issues.
The synopsis also notes: "As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan – her first love and a link to the past she left behind.
"He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened."
