Sparks immediately fly between her and neurosurgeon Ryle, but his "complete aversion to relationships is disturbing," the book's description reads."Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his 'no dating' rule, she can't help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened."Hoover is currently the highest-selling novelist in the U.S., writing five of the top 10 bestselling books of any genre last year, with over 20 million books sold.'It Ends With Us' ended 2022 as the top-selling print book and has been on the New York Times' bestseller list for over 90 weeks.
