QUESTION 1 / 8BESTSELLERS
01
Colleen Hoover became a publishing phenomenon when one of her novels dominated bestseller lists for years and was adapted into a major 2024 film. Which book catapulted her to mainstream superstardom?
✓ Correct! It Ends with Us (2016) became a cultural juggernaut, spending over 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and selling over 20 million copies worldwide. The 2024 film adaptation starred Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is It Ends with Us. While Verity and Ugly Love are also massively popular CoHo titles, It Ends with Us is the book that turned Colleen Hoover into a household name and was adapted into a 2024 blockbuster film.
QUESTION 2 / 8ADAPTATIONS
02
The 2024 film adaptation of It Ends with Us brought Lily Bloom to the big screen. Which actress starred as Lily in this highly anticipated movie?
✓ Correct! Blake Lively starred as Lily Bloom, with Justin Baldoni directing and playing Ryle Kincaid. The film became a box-office hit but also made headlines for behind-the-scenes tensions between Lively and Baldoni during its press tour.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is Blake Lively. She portrayed Lily Bloom opposite Justin Baldoni as Ryle Kincaid and Brandon Sklenar as Atlas Corrigan. The film grossed over $340 million worldwide.
QUESTION 3 / 8NOVELS
03
In this emotionally intense romance, a nurse named Tate moves into her brother’s building and falls for a mysterious airline pilot with a painful past. He agrees to a no-strings arrangement — but feelings don’t follow rules. Which CoHo novel is this?
✓ Correct! Ugly Love (2014) tells the story of Tate Collins and pilot Miles Archer, alternating between present-day and Miles’s devastating backstory. It’s one of Hoover’s most gut-wrenching reads and was adapted into a 2024 Netflix film.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is Ugly Love. Tate and Miles’s friends-with-benefits arrangement that inevitably becomes something deeper is quintessential CoHo. November 9 involves a writer and an actress, Confess centers on an art studio, and Reminders of Him follows a woman after prison.
QUESTION 4 / 8SEQUELS
04
After the massive success of It Ends with Us, Colleen Hoover published a sequel that continues Lily’s story and explores her relationship with Atlas Corrigan. What is the title of this follow-up novel?
✓ Correct! It Starts with Us (2022) picks up where It Ends with Us left off, told from both Lily’s and Atlas’s perspectives. The sequel dives deeper into Atlas’s troubled past while exploring his and Lily’s second-chance romance.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is It Starts with Us. Published in 2022, the sequel mirrors the original’s title pattern — “It Ends with Us” becomes “It Starts with Us” — and tells both Lily’s and Atlas’s sides of the story as they finally find their way to each other.
QUESTION 5 / 8CULTURAL IMPACT
05
Colleen Hoover’s resurgence in popularity was largely driven by a specific social media community that recommends and reviews books through short-form video. What is this community commonly called?
✓ Correct! BookTok — the book-loving corner of TikTok — is largely responsible for Hoover’s massive resurgence. Readers crying on camera while reading It Ends with Us went viral, sending the 2016 novel back to the top of bestseller lists in 2021–2022.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is BookTok. While Bookstagram is also a real community (on Instagram), it was TikTok’s BookTok that turned Colleen Hoover into the bestselling author of 2022, with emotional reaction videos driving millions of new readers to her backlist.
QUESTION 6 / 8THRILLERS
06
Hoover surprised fans by writing a dark psychological thriller about a struggling writer hired to finish a bestselling author’s book series — only to discover a horrifying manuscript hidden in the home. Which novel is this chilling departure from romance?
✓ Correct! Verity (2018) follows writer Lowen Ashleigh, who discovers Verity Crawford’s secret autobiography while working in her home. The manuscript reveals dark, twisted truths — or does it? The novel’s ambiguous ending is one of the most debated in modern fiction.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is Verity. While Layla has paranormal elements and Too Late is a dark romance, Verity is Hoover’s full-blown psychological thriller. Its “So Be It” manuscript twist has sparked endless reader debates about what’s real and what’s fiction within the story.
QUESTION 7 / 8ORIGINS
07
Before she was a global phenomenon, Colleen Hoover self-published her debut novel in 2012. The story follows a young woman who falls for her neighbor — a teacher and slam poet. What is the title of this first book?
✓ Correct! Slammed (2012) was Hoover’s self-published debut, featuring Layken and Will — a student and her neighbor who turns out to be her teacher. The slam poetry elements made it unique, and its success on Kindle launched Hoover’s entire career.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is Slammed. Hoover self-published it in January 2012 and it quickly gained a devoted following. Hopeless came in 2012 as well but after Slammed, Maybe Someday was 2014, and Confess was 2015. Slammed started it all.
QUESTION 8 / 8CHARACTERS
08
The heroine of It Ends with Us shares her first name with a flower — fitting, since she grows up to own a flower shop in Boston. Her full name has become iconic among CoHo fans. What is her first name?
✓ Correct! Lily Bloom — yes, her name is literally Lily Bloom — owns a flower shop called Lily Bloom’s. Her father, who was abusive, gave all his children flower-themed names. The name symbolism runs deep throughout Hoover’s most famous novel.
✗ Not quite, bookworm! The answer is Lily. Lily Bloom is the protagonist of It Ends with Us and its sequel It Starts with Us. Her floral name isn’t just cute — it’s thematically significant, as she owns a flower shop and her family all have botanical names.
