Colleen Hoover has dominated the New York Times bestseller’s list, now she is proving that she can be a consistent box office draw with the romantic drama Regretting You, the second of her novels to get a big screen adaptation.

Of course the first of Hoover’s novels to be made into a movie was It Ends With Us. Though critics didn’t fall in love with the movie and the behind the scenes controversies between star Blake Lively and director/star Justin Baldoni continue to make headlines, the movie itself was a box office hit. Can Regretting You have similar success (though hopefully without any of the off screen drama)?

While we wait to find out, here’s everything you need to know about the movie.
