Film option and director announced for THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS!

We are excited to share that Deadline Hollywood has made an exclusive announcement today about the film option for This Is Where It Ends. ​Here's an excerpt:

​The feature film rights to Marieke Nijkamp’s bestselling YA novel This Is Where It Ends from Sourcebooks have just been optioned by The Gotham Group, the producers behind the YA sensation The Maze Runner franchise. Director/producer Lysa Heslov (Served Like A Girl) has been attached to direct.

This Is Where It Ends has been a New York Times No. 1 bestseller and spent more than 67 weeks on that venerable list….
“In writing This Is Where It Ends Marieke Nijkamp gave rise to what is unfortunately a very real and relevant issue. In doing so, she also created a safe space for teens and adults to discuss gun violence, bullying, and the many faces of love,” said Dominique Raccah, Sourcebooks CEO and publisher. “I’m so grateful to The Gotham Group and Lysa Heslov for seeing the significance of this story and helping it reach an even larger audience.”
