'I just remember sobbing and feeling like this could help so many people feel seen and do so much good in the world.'

Hoover’s 2016 book, which soared in popularity in 2021 due to the influence of TikTok’s ‘BookTok’ community, follows Lily (played in the movie by Blake Lively), who grew up watching her mother be abused by her father.
