Blake Lively

Lively will star alongside actor-director Justin Baldoni in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel.

The book centers on themes of domestic abuse and is loosely based on Hoover's own childhood. "I just want everyone to know how appreciative I am to my mother, who got us out of a scary situation when I was a little girl and brought us here to this house which doesn't look like much, but this house was full of love and joy," Hoover told her followers. "As Lily finds herself becoming the exception to [Ryle's] 'no dating' rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place," the book's description reads. Justin Baldoni will direct the film, and star alongside Lively as Ryle Kincaid, the neurosurgeon Lily meets upon her arrival who has an aversion to serious romance. "As questions about her new relationship overwhelms her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan -- her first love and a link to the past she left behind. Hoover also announced the news on her Instagram.
