Colleen Hoover Releases Woman Down, Rejects Parallels to Her Own Life

Hoover is drafting a screenplay after dozens of unsolicited adaptation inquiries.

Overview

  • Woman Down, Hoover’s first book in more than three years, was published on Jan. 13 by Amazon Publishing’s Montlake imprint.
  • Hoover writes in a foreword that the thriller is not autobiographical and should not be linked to the It Ends With Us controversy.
  • The novel follows an author who faces viral backlash over changes to a film adaptation and retreats to a lakeside cabin to write.
  • Hoover says the story began as a short piece nearly a decade ago and that expanding it proved cathartic as she navigated public scrutiny.
  • Hoover continues building her screen career, with Reminders of Him in theaters March 13 from her Heartbones Entertainment banner and Verity due this October, as her producing partner reports 30-plus inquiries to adapt Woman Down.
