Colleen Hoover is aware of the casting controversy surrounding the movie adaptation of her 2016 romance novel, ItEndsWithUs.
. "You were writing college-age characters. That's what I was contracted to do. I made Lily very young. I didn't know that neurosurgeons went to school for 50 years. There's not a 20-something neurosurgeon. As I started making this movie, I'm like, we need to age them [up], because I messed up. So that's my fault.
The story follows Lily, a florist who grew up with an abusive father. When she moves to a new city, she falls in love with the abusive neurosurgeon Ryle, continuing the cycle she witnessed as a child. Her childhood love Atlas later reappears in her life, challenging her relationship with Ryle. Hoover said she was "extremely happy with the casting" of Lively and Baldoni, noting that she didn't initially believe it when Baldoni, who is also directing and producing the movie, told her Lively said yes.
"I was like, 'Yeah, okay, that'd be great,'" she recalled, sharing that she has been "obsessed" with Lively since. "I think [Baldoni] expected [me] to just scream into the phone. But he doesn't realize... I have not allowed myself to get truly excited because I'm like, something could happen. It's not done filming. Anything could go wrong."
