Whether you like to admit you've read her books or not, Colleen Hoover took the BookTok world by storm with her self-published contemporary 'romance' novels. Since then, a whole host of them have been (or are being) adapted into either movies or limited TV series. Below we've detailed where you can watch them all and what they're all about.
Confess (2017)

Warning: this film contains themes of domestic abuse.
Confess is the only Colleen Hoover novel (so far) to be adapted into a limited TV series. The story centres on Auburn (Katie Leclerc), a young mum fighting tooth and nail to reclaim custody of her son who now lives with his grandmother, Lydia (Sherilyn Fenn), and uncle Trey (Rocky Myers).
Her story further complicates when she takes a job at a local art gallery. The owner, Owen Gentry (Ryan Cooper), creates art based on confessions the community submit to him anonymously. As Auburn becomes romantically involved with Owen, her son's uncle, Trey, makes it clear he will do everything in his power to keep auburn's son away from her if she doesn't return his affections.

It Ends with Us (2024)

Warning: this film contains themes of domestic abuse.
Despite being shrouded in plenty of legal controversy off-screen, this film is actually based on Colleen Hoover's most popular series, so it's a shame they likely won't film the sequel.
On the night of her father's funeral, Lily (Blake Lively) meets a mysterious stranger named Ryle (Justin Baldoni). Ryle appears to be the complete package — educated, financially stable, smart, handsome, and he's a surgeon to boot! But that all begins to unravel when his true personality and dark violent past come bubbling to the surface.
Just as Lily's situation borders on desperate, she crosses paths with an old flame, Atlas (Brandon Sklenar), further escalating Ryle's behaviour to its breaking point. Who will Lily choose? What man will she choose? Is love enough?
Director: Justin Baldoni | Cast: Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, Jenny Slate, Brandon Sklenar, Hasan Minhaj, Kevin McKidd

Verity is one of Colleen Hoover's most jaw-dropping novels and follows the story of a struggling writer, Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), who catches her big break when she is specifically requested by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett), husband of bestselling author, Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway), to ghost-write the remaining novels in his wife's successful series.
Things start off great when Lowen is put up in their lavish home, but things turn sour when she uncovers Verity's unfinished autobiography — one she never meant for anyone to read.
The chapters detail bone-chilling admissions about her life and family, which culminate in Verity's recollection of what truly happened the day her daughter died. When Lowen develops romantic feelings for Jeremy, she wrestles with the decision to share his wife's 'confessions' help him let Verity go once and for all.
