Reviews with content warning for Car accident - Verity

This book made me feel so many emotions. I can’t explain how my mind can be confused but also contain everything I just read. This book was so unpredictable and I never really read this genre/style of writing but I loved it and this was the first Colleen Hoover book I read. I had so many thoughts and possible scenarios going through my head while reading trying to figure what I think could come next. This book felt so real that I thought it could possibly come to life. I never felt like that towards a book before and I loved it.

To answer Lowen’s question “Which truth was she manipulating?” I think Verity was truly sick in the head to make up anything in that matter. I feel like Verity did kill Harper and that her manuscript was all truth. I feel like Verity made that letter up in case she got caught and Jeremy really did report her to the police.> This book made me so spooked that I thought Verity could jump out the book. My mistake for reading a bit at night.

I really felt that Verity was cruel inside with her whole thought process. Every time Lowen described when Verity had her eyes on her, was at the top of the staircase, or on the floor crawling I was so scared because every detail that was described felt so real to me. I even thought if I turned around Verity would be in my room.

Did I think this was a perfect plot? No, and I feel like I've seen a few movies that do this same thing. BUT, I will say that I can see how people can get hooked by Hoover's writing because I found myself really wanting to just drop everything to read this book. If I had a day to do absolutely nothing, I 1000% would've devoured this in one go.

I’ve heard a lot of things about this book and I do think it lives up to the hype! I’ve never read anything by Colleen before but you can really tell she’s a romance author from the amount of sex in this book.

The themes in this are heavy - please do check the content warnings.

Overall I really enjoyed the structure of the book and the writing was actually super enjoyable. I like how the story kept me guessing - I enjoyed the plot twist too (not my absolute fav but definitely unique).
Would recommend if you’re looking for a dark and surprisingly sexy thriller about evil wives (and husbands??)

Read the bonus chapter - it left me viewing Jeremy in a completely different light!! Kinda want a sequel now just to see what happens to them in the future.
