It Ends With Us has recently been making headlines after the movie adaptation starring Blake Lively hit theaters earlier this month. Ahead of the movie release, the novel penned by Colleen Hoover had been listed as New York’s best-selling novel.

The story of Lily Bloom inspired the readers and provided a good storyline for them to rely upon. While the book is categorized as fictional, the reports suggest that some of the excerpts that the author described in the book were inspired by her life events. 

The narrative of Lily Bloom’s life of romance and tragedy was imaginative; however, the scenes where the author talked about abusive parent-child relationships were personal to Hoover.

The author’s father was allegedly abusive towards her mother, which caused a strained relationship in the household. Hoover released her two-part novel around the time of the COVID pandemic and gained popularity through her art of storytelling, as the fans thoroughly enjoyed the books. 

Meanwhile, the It Ends With Us movie has been facing backlash for including scenes of domestic violence without adding a trigger warning. The audience of the film was furious over the fact that trigger warnings were nowhere mentioned either in promotions or during the marketing of the movie.
