It was the novel that took TikTok by storm, selling over 2.5 million copies in its first print run, and now Colleen Hoover’s smash hit It Ends With Us is coming to the big screen.

Mentions of the BookTok favourite had already garnered over 21.3 million views on the social media app, becoming the most pre-ordered novel in publisher Simon & Schuster’s history and selling 800,000 copies in the first day alone. So, the news that a film adaptation is landing in cinemas soon is exciting for fans, not least because of the big names attached.

Here’s everything to know about It Ends With Us, including a look at the new trailer.

**What is the plot of It Ends With Us?**

As per the book’s description, sparks immediately fly between Lily and neurosurgeon Ryle, but his “complete aversion” to relationships is worrying. “Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his ‘no dating’ rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so to do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan – her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.”

The book (and subsequently the film) has attracted criticism for romanticising themes of domestic abuse and violence, with some stating that these subjects are serious and nuanced and shouldn’t be marketed as romance or a love story.
