'And then I fell in love with Lily, I wanna play this woman because I understand why she experiences what she experiences,' Lively continued.
Blake Lively seems to have shared two conflicting narratives when it comes to knowing who It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover was before she began filming the movie - as she shared two conflicting narratives in two separate interviews.
She recalled then going into a bookstore in the small town that she was in at the time and seeing it covered with Colleen Hoover books and branding.
However, in another interview filmed by Sony Pictures and posted on Instagram for the movie's promotion alongside the author, Lively claimed that she was thrilled when she heard Hoover's name.
'I felt like I lived under a rock, because I hadn't heard of Colleen Hoover before they came to me with this movie,' the former Gossip Girl actress shared during the interview.
