It Ends With Us has arguably become one of Colleen’s more popular books thanks to it blowing up on social media during the pandemic – despite its 2016 release.
In turn, the book-to-movie adaptation has attracted some Hollywood favourites including Blake Lively as Lily Bloom, a 23-year-old flower shop owner and Justin Baldoni as Ryle Kincaid.
“Lily resonated with an enormous amount of people, as the success of the book made clear,” Blake told People. “Stepping into a character who’s had such a meaningful impact is an honor to take on.”
“I loved Lily. And I hope that love is felt by those who care about her like I do, and also those who are getting to know her for the first time in this film.”

The film follows Lily who falls in love with 30-year old neurosurgeon, Ryle. But their relationship becomes abusive, when Lily plots an exit with her first love Atlas Corrigan played by Brandon Sklenar.
Joining the trio cast is Isabela Ferrer (young Lily Bloom), Jenny Slate (Allysa), Alex Neustaedter (young Atlas) and Hasan Minhaj (Marshall).
To film the emotional drama, the cast and crew took to the streets of New Jersey. Leaked images of Blake in character quickly sparked criticism among the dedicated fanbase. Protagonist Lily is known for her eccentric style, but many fans believed the adaptation has taken her outfits beyond ‘quirky’ to ‘weird.’
