It never ended with us. Literary fiction has long shaped our cultural conversation around domestic violence. Since Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends With Us and its recent film adaptation have set the spotlight once again on this evergreen issue, how has the conversation changed? Join us for a panel discussion featuring Natalie Adler, Kristen Martin, and Joan Summers.

Natalie Adler (she/her) is an editor at Lux. Her first novel, Waiting on a Friend, is forthcoming from Hogarth in 2026.

Kristen Martin (she/her) is a writer and critic based in Philadelphia. Her first book, The Sun Won't Come Out Tomorrow: The Dark History of American Orphanhood, is out now from Bold Type Books.

Joan Summers (she/her) is a writer, diva, and gossip about town. Summers is the creator and co-host of Eating for Free, a weekly podcast that explores gossip and power in the pop culture landscape: Where it comes from, who wields it, and who suffers at the hands of it. Her work has appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Jezebel, PAPER, InStyle, Gawker, Club Curran, and more.
