In November 2011, Hoover began writing her debut novel, Slammed, with no intention of getting published.

She worked various social work and teaching jobs, prior to starting her career as an author. Hoover graduated from Texas A&M-Commerce with a degree in social work. She married Heath Hoover in 2000, and they have three sons. She grew up in Saltillo, Texas, and she graduated from Saltillo High School in 1998. Hoover was born on December 11, 1979, in Sulphur Springs, Texas, to Vannoy Fite and Eddie Fennell. She was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2023. Hoover has sold approximately 20 million books, as of October 2022. Many of her works were self-published, before being picked up by a publishing house.

She is best known for her 2016 romance novel, It Ends with Us. That's only one persons opinion and the one I had was that the show could use a heck ton of work.Colleen Hoover (born Margaret Colleen Fennell December 11, 1979) is an American author who primarily writes novels in the romance and young adult fiction genres. If you love the book and really want to watch the show, then go ahead, it's not that bad. Anyways, the show is good if you haven't read the book and don't intend on reading it. Hannah became a drug dealer, Emory became Auburn's best friend, Auburn works at a nursing home, Auburn forces Trey off of herself instead of Emory pulling a gun on him, everyone is around 4 years older, Owen-Cat was stuffed, and the one thing that made me the maddest, the fact that Owen drew before he got a box of supplies from Adam, which didn't even happen by the way, Owen just drew two hands then gave it to Adam with his own art supplies. They added in stuff, or tweaked things too. They also took out both target scenes, Harrison's, 'fixing Owen's stuff', the gun scene, anytime that Owen walked her home, and the car ride where Auburn recorded Trey. In the series they add and take out parts that don't really matter like how they add that Auburn is adopted and had a mental illness, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the book. but besides that the book is completely different, and better. Of course it has the basic outline of the book, Owen's an artist, him and Auburn fall in love, Trey tries to marry Auburn, Emory, Lydia, AJ, etc. The entire story was practically rewritten too. I'm a huge fan of Leclerc, but she just wasn't very good in this show. While the casting was amazing, the acting wasn't that great.
