This book was purchased for me as a gift. The following review is a truthful and honest representation of my opinion. 

Verity by Colleen Hoover on December 10th, 2018
Pages: 314
Format: Paperback

Synopsis:

Struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh accepts what seems like an amazing job opportunity. Bestselling author Verity Crawford is now injured and is unable to complete her book series. As a result, her husband, Jeremy, has sought out Lowen to complete the series. Lowen travels to the Crawford home, where she will rummage through Verity's office to find her notes and outlines. But what Lowen doesn't expect is finding a secret manuscript documenting all the darkest secrets of Verity's life; a manuscript that would break her husband's heart if he ever found out. 

Review:

I blew through this book in 3 days. Every time I read a portion, it became progressively harder to put the book down! This is Hoover's first time writing and publishing a thriller, and wow. She did a magnificent job executing this novel. She weaved in small details throughout the story that, in the end, turned out to be relevant to the one of the biggest plot-twists in the book.  Lowen, as a character, felt very realistic and was incredibly easy to empathize with. Of course, Jeremy follows suit with the classic Colleen Hoover leading male characters. 

A forewarning to mention is that this book is definitely not for a young audience; there are descriptive sexual scenes, as well as mentioning of death and other graphic events. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this novel very much. 

I give such little detail on the plot, as well as my own opinions, because I honestly think that readers will get the best experience if they know little to nothing about the novel. I went into this book knowing pretty much nothing about the plot and I am so glad that I did. 

“Some families are lucky enough to never experience a single tragedy. But then there are those families that seem to have tragedies waiting on the back burner. What can go wrong, goes wrong. And then gets worse.”  - Verity by Colleen Hoover
