Verity by Colleen Hoover

Disclaimer: This book does has some disturbing scenes.

I felt like I had to put this disclaimer in for this book cause HOLY COW! This book was insane. Insanely good but still definitely insane. Was it my best idea to read this book while house/dog sitting all by my lonesome. Definitely not. Yet here I am doing exactly that. Tilly (the dog I’m watching) better protect me with her 25 lb body. When I finished this book I don’t think I blinked for 5 minutes, I was just trying to absorb everything that just transpired in the last 30 pages. Colleen Hoover does a great job of those unexpected twists and those dramatic endings. I don’t read a lot of romantic thrillers, and there definitely was some slightly steamy scenes so if that isn’t really your cup of tea then probably stay clear of this particular one, but she is just a talented writer that I will definitely be checking out some of her other work.

Copied from my books I want to read Feb 2022 post: Verity follows Lowen Ashleigh who is a struggling writer when the chance of a life time lands at her feet. She has been asked by Jeremy Crawford, husband of the legendary Verity Crawford, to finish the current book his wife is working on as she is currently too injured to work on it. Lowen expects to find notes and rough drafts on the current book, but what she finds is an autobiography in process that will highlight all the secrets Verity has been keeping from the rest of the world. It’s up to Lowen to decide what she wants to do with these admissions that could ruin the Crawford family. Things aren’t always as perfect as they may seem from the outside.

This book was terrifying, disturbing at points, very freaky and one of the most addicting books I’ve come across recently. I started this book Wednesday evening and by Thursday afternoon I had finished it. I couldn’t seem to part away from it for too long. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I needed to know what was the actual truth and who was in the wrong in the long run, as it wasn’t who I expected.
