Start with It Ends With Us if you want the book everyone is talking about, or Ugly Love if you want the one most readers finish in a single weekend. Verity is the outlier: a thriller, not a romance. All are in stock in Nepal from around NPR 720, cash on delivery.
Colleen Hoover is the author most often asked for by name in this shop, and the one people most often start in the wrong place. Her books are not a series, so there is no required order, but two of them are a genuine pair and reading those backwards spoils both.
Prices below are what we charge as of August 2026 and move with our supplier, so treat them as a guide rather than a quote.
Which Colleen Hoover book should you read first?
It Ends With Us, around NPR 720. It is the one that made her famous, and the one most likely to tell you quickly whether her writing is for you. Be aware going in that it deals directly with domestic abuse, and it is not the light romance the cover suggests. Readers who expect a comfort read are often blindsided; readers who know what it is find it the strongest thing she has written.
If you want something lighter to begin with, start with Ugly Love at around NPR 720 instead.
What is the It Ends With Us reading order?
Two books, in this order:
- It Ends With Us, around NPR 720
- It Starts With Us, around NPR 1,008
The second is a direct sequel and gives away the ending of the first on its opening pages, so the order matters here more than anywhere else in her work. If you already know you want both, the box set of the pair at around NPR 1,440 costs less than buying them separately.
Which one is the thriller?
Verity, around NPR 720. It is shelved with her romances and is not one — it is a nasty, propulsive thriller with an ending readers still argue about. Several people who did not get on with her romances liked this one, so it is worth trying even if It Ends With Us was not for you.
What should you read after those?
- November 9, around NPR 720. A relationship told one day a year.
- Maybe Someday, around NPR 864, followed by its novella Maybe Not, around NPR 864.
- Losing Hope, around NPR 864, and Point of Retreat, around NPR 864, both of which retell or continue earlier books from another character's side — read them after the book they attach to, not before.
Are her books suitable for teenagers?
Mostly not, despite how they are marketed and shelved. The romances contain explicit content and several deal with abuse, addiction or grief. It Ends With Us in particular is an adult book about an adult subject. For a younger reader after the same emotional pull, the young adult shelf is the better place to look.
What if you want something similar?
Try Icebreaker by Hannah Grace at around NPR 720, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas at around NPR 720, or King of Greed by Ana Huang at around NPR 864. For readers who prefer South Asian settings, I Too Had a Love Story by Ravinder Singh at around NPR 360 remains the most borrowed book on many shelves in Nepal.
