Author Becca Fitzpatrick dedicated over five years to crafting her manuscript for the acclaimed series, Hush, Hush, inspired by an online writing class. After facing rejections and undergoing numerous revisions, Fitzpatrick finally completed her first novel in 2009, which quickly became a bestseller on the New York Times list. Fans have been eagerly anticipating a film adaptation, going as far as ranking it as the second book that should be made into a movie on Goodreads.
Appealing to enthusiasts of stories like Twilight, fans of Hush, Hush are drawn to its refreshing and intriguing heroine, as well as the tantalizing mix of hot bad boys, troubled girls, and forbidden romance.
The narrative follows Nora Grey, a 16-year-old living in Coldwater, Maine, who finds herself mysteriously linked to her enigmatic classmate, Patch Cipriano, after the tragic loss of her father. As unsettling events unfold around her, Nora soon discovers that Patch is a fallen angel, plunging her into an ancient supernatural conflict where choosing sides could mean risking her very life.
While later books in the series garnered mixed reviews, the initial installment, Hush, Hush, received positive feedback from critics. Plans for a film adaptation were initially set in motion in 2012 but were later put on hold. However, developments in 2018 indicated progress as BCDF Pictures cast Liana Liberato as Nora and Wolfgang Novogratz as Patch. Subsequent updates in 2021 revealed that the film had been given the green light by SpringHill Company and Genius Entertainment Partner, marking a significant step towards a potential screen adaptation.
Despite the prolonged anticipation from fans, the fate of a movie adaptation of the riveting fallen angel romance saga remains uncertain. Only time will tell if this beloved tale will come to life on the silver screen.
