After bringing her heartfelt words to life on the big screen, Blake Lively is showing her appreciation for Colleen Hoover. The It Ends with Us star praised the book’s author on Wednesday for her birthday, expressing how much “my life has changed” since starring in this year’s Justin Baldoni-helmed feature adaptation of the novel. “Everyone who knows this woman is changed for it,” she wrote Wednesday on her Instagram Story. “She’s calm and steady.

Her integrity is her foundation. Her humor levels you outta nowhere. Her quiet fortitude is mighty. And she always chooses the kindest path. “She loves her fans.

She loves her friends. She loves her community. She loves her family. But mostly she loves Diet Pepsi. And oh boy do we love her.” Lively continued, “Happy happy birthday @colleenhoover.

My life has changed because of your work. Your art. Your friendship. For good. So many people’s have. And we thank you. Today and every day.” In It Ends with Us, now available to stream on Netflix, Lively stars as Lily Bloom, who moves to Boston to start her own business.
