A Goodreads user asked Colleen Hoover:

Why is It Ends with Us so short? It should have been much longer tbh. Will there be a movie of it or of Ugly Love?

Colleen Hoover lol maybe it just felt short, because it's one of my longer books. Authors have contracts that specify word count limits, and all my novels are average length, ranging between 80k-110k words. I think IEWU falls around the 100k word mark, which is very standard.
Justin Baldoni bought rights to IEWU, so hopefully that one will become a movie. The rights to Ugly Love reverted back to me because the option expired, so as of right now, there are no plans in process for Ugly Love unless a studio purchases rights again.
