Blake Lively on the challenges of portraying Lily in "It Ends With Us"
CBSN
Blake Lively and Brandon Sklenar are bringing Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel "It Ends With Us" to life in a highly anticipated film adaptation. The book has spent 164 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and its devoted fans have waited for the movie's release.
Lively, who plays the lead character Lily, said she felt she had to deliver something meaningful for the audience, who have been fans of the book.
Sklenar plays Lily's first love, Atlas, and admitted that he wasn't fully aware of the book's popularity.

Seems that there is always a lot going on behind the walls of the White House where truth can often be stranger than fiction. But fiction can be pretty compelling, too. In the new novel "The First Gentleman" (to be published June 2 by Little, Brown & Co.), the commander in chief is a woman, and her husband is accused of murder. It's the third collaboration from best-selling author James Patterson and his co-writer, President Bill Clinton.
