Okay, I get it now, I get the Hoover love. You all nearly lost me with book one. Atlas made me love this book. I loved the background you gained on Atlas through this story. A boy who was so devoid of love from his mother and faced so many hardships in his first 17 years turned out to be such a fantastic man.
This is an example of 'if he wanted to, he would'; Atlas is such a stark contrast to Ryle. Ryle cannot keep his shit together when he gets upset, is an absolute dumpster fire of a partner compared to Atlas who quite literally thanks the universe for ever having Lily in his life and cherishes any time he gets with her. THE MAN STOPS BY FOR DRIVE BY HUGS!
If you too have lived under a rock - these books are worth the read for Atlas alone. Although, I am still judging Lily for the name she chose for her daughter...Emmerson Dory (like the fish). I just cannot.
