The trailer for the big-screen adaptation of the Colleen Hoover bestseller It Ends with Us has been released ahead of the film's arrival in cinemas in August.

The synopsis says It Ends with Us tells the story of "Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business".

"A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily begins to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents' relationship," the synopsis continues.

"When Lily's first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realises she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future."

Directed by Lively's co-star Baldoni, It Ends with Us will be released on Friday 9 August.
