With more than 20 novels under her belt, for the past few years Colleen Hoover has been dominating bestseller lists with books such as Verity.
Having found fame through word of mouth promotion on sites such as TikTok – or BookTok as the community is known – in 2022 Hoover had sold more than 20 million books. In 2024 alone, Hoover has sold more than 1.8 million books and that’s without any new releases this year.
And with the release of the film adaptation of It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively on August 9, that figure could be set to explode even further.
