It Ends With Us is Releasing an Official Coloring Book, and People are Confused
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Colleen Hoover announced on that her best-selling novel It Ends With Us would be turned into a coloring book. Hoover expressed her excitement for the project, writing, “I’m one of the adult coloring book industry’s biggest consumers, so to have one of my books turned into a coloring book is a dream come true! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!” However, the project has already received a lot of criticism on social media. People on TikTok have expressed confusion, and others on social media have also voiced their issues with the coloring book. For instance, on Hoover’s Instagram post, one user asked, “A coloring book about domestic violence…?” Another wrote, “This is so gross. Why make a book about literal abuse into something as lighthearted as a colouring book?” The controversial coloring book, illustrated by Emma Taylor, is set (as far as we know) to release on April 4, 2023.
