BBC Radio 4 - Profile, Colleen Hoover

The bestselling romance novelist and TikTok sensation.

Colleen Hoover, the bestselling author and TikTok sensation, whose hit novel It Ends With Us is set to hit the silver screen soon.

The ‘New Adult’ romance author topping book charts, and breaking records - she’s even outsold the Bible. Who is Colleen Hoover? 

The small-town Texan turned hit novelist is a TikTok sensation. Young women film themselves sobbing as they read her books, and queue for hours to meet her. Her meteoric rise to fame, from a small trailer on the family farm, reads like one of her stories. And now, her hit novel - ‘It Ends With Us’ - is set to hit the silver screen.
