Colleen Hoover is a 44-year-old author who is known for her romance novels and young adult fiction. Over the past few years, Hoover’s books have grown in popularity and are adored worldwide. Here are a few of her best books that leave readers with a throbbing heart:
One of Hoover’s most popular books is, It Ends With Us, which was published in 2016. This novel tells an emotional story of a young girl, Lily Bloom, who faces love, loss, trauma and abuse throughout her life. When I first read this book, I was left speechless. The vulnerability of the story is almost incomparable to others. It Ends With Us was such a hit, that they made a movie out of it. Coming to theaters August 9, many are excited to watch the gut-wrenching film.
Now, for my personal favorite of Colleen Hoover’s collection is, November 9. Published in 2015, the heartfelt love story between two teens, Ben and Fallon, beautifully depicts their epic yet unique, long-distance relationship. The plot-twists and trauma expressed throughout the novel will leave you in shambles if you have not yet read it.
One of Hoover’s books that is receiving all the rave is, Verity. Although I have never read it, the six-year-old novel dabbles more in the thriller genre. Narrated by the mistress who is sneaking around with a successful author’s husband, the plot-twists on deaths, mysteries, and scandals will keep you turning the pages.
Colleen Hoover receives much praise for her enticing pieces. “While she built a strong fan base early in her career, her sales soared during the pandemic, when her books became a sensation on TikTok.” Stated nytimes.com.
