Hoover has praised the film adaptation of her book, expressing admiration for Lively's portrayal of Lily. She mentioned being "in awe" of the performance and how it added depth and complexity to the character beyond her initial vision. The author described Lively's acting as captivating, stunning, and emotional, exceeding her expectations.

It's no surprise that the teaser includes Swift, 34, who shares a close friendship with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, much to the delight of their fans. In fact, the trio is so close that the singer even included the names of Reynolds and Lively's three daughters — James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4 — in the lyrics of her song "Betty" from the album Folklore.

Recently, Reynolds addressed rumors about Swift possibly revealing the name of their fourth child in her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. The actor jokingly mentioned during an appearance on the Today show on Monday, May 13, that they always wait for Taylor to announce the child's name. He added, "And I'll say this, we're still waiting, so Taylor, let's maybe start [on that], you know. She's a prolific writer. I mean, what are we doing here? And lazy's not a word I'd attach to Taylor."

It Ends With Us lands in theaters on August 9.
