If, like the rest of the world, you’ve found yourself obsessed with the Fourth Wing book series, you’ll be familiar with its author, Rebecca Yarros. Beyond her Empyrean series, Yarros has a string of non-fantasy contemporary novels that, as far as fan reviews suggest, will probably rip your heart out.

Among that list is her book, The Things We Leave Unfinished, which is officially being adapted for film.

It’s the third work from Yarros’ library to be getting the adaptation treatment, the first famously being the Fourth Wing TV series followed by the upcoming Netflix film, In The Likely Event. 

Per Deadline, Arash Amel is set adapting the script while Todd Lieberman will produce through his company Hidden Pictures. 

What Is The Plot Of The Things We Leave Unfinished?

The Things We Leave Unfinished follows 28-year-old Georgia Stanton who returns home to Colorado after a messy divorce to find herself finishing her grandmother’s final novel.

According to the synopsis, we may have a delicious enemies-to-lovers trope, too.

It reads: “She finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing.

“He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit.” 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Rebecca Yarros book with some twists. Noah and Georgia discover letters from her grandmother correlate with her unfinished novel, revealing just why the novel found an end. 

When Will The Things We Leave Unfinished Be Released?

With the deal only freshly inked and production yet to begin there will be sometime before we have any confirmation on casting let alone a release date for the adaptation. Check back here for updates as they drop.
