Yet it must be said that the writing itself is underdeveloped, reminiscent of YA fiction, and inconsistencies (like the 30-year-old neurosurgeon who comes home wearing his hospital scrubs) translate to a frustrating narrative in terms of inauthentic plausibility. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. 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.

I think "It starts with us" will either be more of their relationship when they were kids and then when they separate. Maybe their paths almost cross a few more times in those missing years. Lily’s husband Ryle can be kind, funny and sexy but his repeated warning signs, marked by episodes of overpowering anger, help to distance the reader from fully investing in the success of their relationship. He exhibits almost Christian Grey characteristics and this insubstantiality negates from what could have been a more developed morally dubious character. The maturity that Lily showed towards her young love Atlas isn’t convincingly translated to her marriage which is adds to a sense of juvenility and one-dimensionality.
