A book with a background from many fans who were inspired by the story in the first book, I think It Starts with Us is intended for fans who have followed ther story from the beginning. Speaking of inspiration, the interesting thing from Colleen Hoover’s media interviews is that in writing ther book, Colleen Hoover was also inspired by her personal story. Colleen Hoover experienced parts of the story in her own book. Lily, who is a character in ther book, finds strength as her mother used to. Her mother abandoned her father when she was 2 years old. Her mother received little external support and, worse, no financial support. Another part that she experienced was Emy’s parenting type. In her story in the past, her mother had to undergo custody with her father for 18 year.

It Starts with Us is a young adult fiction genre that raises several sensitive issues such as divorce, domestic violence, and sexual violence. Therefore, some scenes may be triggers for some people who have experienced trauma in their lives. But actually in the book, Colleen just wants to give an overview of toxic relationships and at the same time a guide to avoid toxic relationships. Moreover, ther book will inspire readers to believe in love, second chances, power and do the best for the people you love.
