Photos of Blake Lively on set of the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel "It Ends with Us" have surfaced.

Lively will play the book's main character Lily Bloom in the upcoming film, which will be directed by Justin Baldoni.

Baldoni will play Ryle Kincaid, the man Lily falls for. The book touches largely on domestic abuse, which Hoover has previously said was inspired by her mother's own escape from an abusive relationship.

Lively was seen in character on set in New York City, sporting Lily's signature red hair.
