What is the Plotline of It Ends With Us?
It Ends With Us will be an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover, BookTok’s favorite author.
The novel was published in 2016 and has since sold more than one million copies, in part due to its popularity on TikTok. The story is inspired by Hoover’s mother and father, and she has previously described it as “the most difficult book I’ve ever written.”
Lily, a college graduate who moves to Boston in the hopes of opening her flower shop, is the protagonist of the novel. There, she falls in love with the neurosurgeon Ryle, while also coming to terms with the abuse in her parent’s relationship and the memories of her former lover Atlas.
