Who Is Colleen Hoover?
Just in case you’re not already familiar with Colleen Hoover, let me be the first to introduce you.
If you’re at all connected to the many bookworm social media groups that are out there these days, you’ve probably noticed that Colleen Hoover is quite often affectionately referred to as CoHo!
Honestly, she’s taken the book groups by storm recently, as some members are complaining that it’s all they talk about anymore. That might be one reason why her books have become so insanely popular thanks to all the word-of-mouth referrals she gets.
Colleen Hoover is an award-winning American #1 New York Times bestselling author of many books and novellas in the romance, young adult, and psychological thriller genres. She lives in Texas with her husband and three boys.
In addition to being a successful author, Colleen Hoover is also the founder of The Bookworm Box, a charity book box subscription service and bookstore.
