Hoover has published over 20 books in the young adult fiction and romance categories, and they are all widely talked about on BookTok, which is where many new readers found her stories.
"I cannot stop reading your books," one user commented on one of Hoover's videos. "I read one thanks to TikTok, and now I have been reading them non-stop."
It seems many users are still discovering It Ends With Us as TikTokers share their often teary-eyed reactions to the novel nearly every week on the app.
What was It Ends With Us about?
The popular book is based on the tumultuous relationship of Hoover's parents with references to domestic violence and toxic relationship situations.
It follows the main character Lily Bloom, who falls into an abusive relationship with surgeon Ryle Kincaid.

Is It Ends With Us getting a movie?
The popular novel is currently being adapted into a screenplay, actor Justin Baldoni announced in 2019. He said his company, Wayfarer Studios, would bring Hoover's characters to life on camera.
In an October 2021 TikTok, Baldoni shared that the first draft of the script was finished, prompting fans to share their excitement in the comment section of the post. Any time he mentions the novel in videos, he gets an outpour of comments suggesting things like who the cast should be.
