Review - Verity
AUTHOR: Colleen Hoover
RATING: ★★★★
Summary (from Goodreads): Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.
Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.
REVIEW: I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book, but I ended up pleasantly surprised. It’s not the usual Colleen Hoover book I’m used to reading, with the complex love story and emotional angst, but that’s okay, because Verity still kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Talk about your creepy characters! Getting to know Verity, there were many times I shook my head in disbelief, mumbling “OH.MY.GOD!” to no one in particular because I was so stunned at her actions throughout this book. And that ending…WOW! I won’t give away any spoilers, but it caught me off guard and left me questioning the entire story - in a good way. I like books that keep me on my toes and keep me guessing the way Verity did. Thumbs up, Colleen! Well done!
