Every Colleen Hoover Book, Ranked—From 'It Ends With Us' to 'Verity'

The best colleen hoover books ranked.

Blake Lively's star power isn't the only reason It Ends With Us became the highest-grossing romantic drama in years. Colleen Hoover, the author behind the novel of the same name, has one of the most devout followings of any best-selling writer today. In just over a decade, the novelist affectionately dubbed "CoHo" by fans has racked up (count ‘em!) a whopping 26 titles, the sales for which overtook even the Bible in 2022.

Hoover's work remains more popular than ever, especially as several of her books get the big screen treatment. Her popular romance novel It Ends With Us marked the first of her titles to be adapted into a feature, arriving in theaters in August 2024. Led by Lively and Justin Baldoni, who also directed the project, the film earned over $300 million in global ticket sales against a budget of just $25 million (and has continued to stay in the press in the months since, given the ongoing legal drama surrounding the film). Whether the movie or its source material was your entry point into the writer, or you've already fashioned yourself a major CoHort, there are many other must-read Colleen Hoover books.

The author's written everything from steamy erotic novels and heartwarming love stories to gripping thrillers, so we took a deep dive into her five series and 10 standalone novels to see which are the best Colleen Hoover books. From Slammed, the 2012 self-published Amazon debut that started it all, to 2022's It Ends With Us sequel, It Starts With Us—which helped Hoover break a record as the author with the most titles on the New York Times Best Sellers list at one time—here are the best Colleen Hoover books, ranked.
