If you're on BookTok, then you know Colleen Hoover. Back in 2020, her books went viral on TikTok, and I was one of many who became obsessed with reading her books. Her books got me back into reading, so they will always have a special place in my heart. Over the past few years, I have been slowly collecting her books because #1, I enjoyed reading them, and #2, I want to own all her books for the sake of having them all on my bookshelf. So, with that said, here are all of the Colleen Hoover books I currently have, with some of my thoughts on the ones I have read.

Okay so here is my entire Colleen Hoover collection. (Actually I also have "Heart Bones" but it is on my tbr cart which is why it is not included in this picture lol)
Starting from left to right, first we have Verity.
I have 2 copies of Verity because the first one is a collector's edition from Target that included a bonus chapter so obviously, I had to buy it. For me the extra copy was worth it because Verity is one of my favorite Colleen Hoover books and I like the gold on the new cover. I also have the original cover of Verity. Now, I will warn you that this book is VERY dark and twisted. It is not like Colleen's other romance books, this one is a psychological thriller. While I loved reading this book and it kept me on my toes, I realize that it might be too much for people, especially mothers. But if you can realize that it is a work of fiction then I think you will enjoy this book. I still think about it to this day!
Never Never, Too Late, and Layla
Next is Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher. I haven't read this one yet because I am waiting for Spooky season (October). I am very much a mood reader, and this book is described as a "gripping, twisty, romantic mystery unlike any other". I am excited to read a book with two authors though.
Too Late is also a book I haven't read because I am waiting for October. Too Late is a psychological suspense novel which I cannot wait to dive into when the vibes are right.
Layla is described as a thriller romance and if it is anything like Verity, I know I will love it.
I have heard this one is a little scary, but I could be wrong. While I absolutely can NOT watch scary movies, I don't mind scary-ish books. Let me know your thoughts in the comments if you've read this one!
November 9
Oh how I love this book! November 9 has really mixed reviews, and I find that you either love it or hate it. I loved it, but I can see some arguments on why the guy character in this book is questionable. I flew through this book and it had me laughing and crying which I did not expect at all. I did read this 3 years ago, but I am planning on re-reading it in November (I know this mood reading thing is a bit much haha) so I am curious to see if I still love it as much now. I have the old cover which I'm glad because I honestly think it fits the vibe of the book more, but the new cover is cute too. This book is dual POV and a quick read, so I recommend it if you have not read it yet.
Regretting You
I'll be honest, I have NO idea what this book is about lol. I bought it for my collection, but also because the main character's name is Morgan, which is also my name. I've heard that this book is underrated, so I am hoping to get to it soon. Convince me to read it in the comments haha.
Confess
I was a little let down by Confess. I mean I liked it, but I didn't love it. I did read this last year in 2022, so it is possible that I just don't love Colleen Hoover's writing as much. I did read it pretty quickly because I wanted to know if there was a plot twist. I liked the concept of the book but the romance just didn't do it for me. There's also a TV Show for this book on Amazon Prime which I think I liked but I honestly can't remember much about it. I'd still give this book a try since it was a fast, easy read.
Ugly Love
I have a pretty unpopular opinion of this book which is that I didn't like it very much. Some people say this is their favorite Colleen Hoover book and it went crazy viral on BookTok. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book, but it was hard for me to get into. I also just didn't like the romance in it, I think I would have liked it more without romance to be honest. I did cry a lot in this book (which everyone says you will) and I do like books that make me feel something haha. But to me, it is not super memorable. I might pick it up again soon and see if my opinions change.
Reminders Of Him
This is another one of Colleen Hoover's books I have not read yet. I honestly don't know why I've been putting it off since I have heard that this is one of her best books. This came out more recently in 2022 and all I know about it is that people cry. I'm hoping to get to it soon so please bully me into reading it haha.
It Ends With Us
Okay, here's where it gets a little crazy. We all know It Ends With Us, I mean it is an OG BookTok sensation. At the time, anyone who read this LOVED it, and it got many people back into reading, including me. Personally, I loved this book, and it is special to me and my reading journey. I loved the message in the book, and it made me feel soo many things. While there was romance in it, I felt like that was not the main point of the book and I loved it because of it. I still recommend it to everyone, especially if you are just getting into reading.
It Starts With Us
(SPOILER WARNING FOR IT STARTS WITH US, DO NOT READ NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT YET)
Now, It Starts With Us is a different story. I did not really like this book and I never really loved Atlas (unpopular opinion, I know). I mean I liked him of course, but he is not one of my favorite book boyfriends. People absolutely LOVE Atlas, and I just don't get the hype. So, clearly, I wasn't going to love a book about Lily and Atlas. I still liked it and read it quickly, but it just lacked substance for me. I feel like we didn't NEED a book about Atlas and Lily, but everyone is different.
Hopeless, Losing Hope, and Finding Cinderella
Next, we have the Hopeless series. This series confused me for the longest time until Colleen posted reading orders on her Instagram. Here it is for reference:
It hurts me to say that I still have not read this series. I have heard SO many good things about it and I know I need to read it. I promise I will soon. I mean I have all the books, so I have no excuse lol. I also have the old versions of Hopeless and Losing Hope, but I have the new version of Finding Cinderella (its slightly irritating). I like the new covers of Hopeless and Losing Hope better simply because there are no humans on the covers.
All Your Perfects
Don't worry, I have read this one! This one absolutely tore my heart out and ripped it to pieces, but in a good way lol. I really enjoyed this book, and I think I would enjoy it and understand it a bit more now that I am in my 20s. I love love love Graham and he is my favorite book boyfriend out of Colleen Hoover's books. I definitely recommend this book and the new cover is perfect and I wish I had it lol.
