Collen Hoover isn’t a new name in these streets. The social worker turned full-time author dipped her toes in this world when she self-published her first book in 2012. However, most of her current fan base knows her mainly from social media, bookTok in particular.
Hoover’s writing style has been described as emotional, raw, and unique, and this is evident looking at the number of bestselling romance/ thriller books she’s been putting out.
So, whether you’re a dedicated Colleen fan or simply willing to try out some new reads, these eight books are bound to cure your Colleen Hoover hangover.
