Colleen Hoover has taken #BookTok and, quite frankly, the world by storm. The writer has penned over 20 novels since 2012, holding six of the top 10 spots on The New York Times’ paperback fiction best-seller list in 2022 alone. And the upcoming movie adaptation of Hoover’s 2016 novel It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, only adds to the buzz.

Whether you’re speed reading to get ahead of the movie’s Aug. 9 premiere, or already obsessed with the It Ends With Us novel and looking for your next read, here’s your guide to navigating the romance books in order.

Out of her 24 total novels, there are 11 stand-alone books and four series: the Slammed series, Hopeless series, Maybe Someday series and, of course, the It Ends With Us series, which includes It Ends With Us (2016) and It Starts With Us (2022).

Below, find Hoover’s full list of novels along with where to buy individual books and box sets. Since not all of her books were published in the order in which they should be read, we grouped them first by series (you can start with any of the four series, as long as the books within each series are read in the listed order), and then the stand-alone novels are is chronological order by publication date (those can be read in any order).
