Honestly, this was my first and probably my last book by Colleen Hoover. I wanted to like her writing style so can't but it took me way too long to finish. I didn't find the writing to very interesting. I wish didn't enjoy the abrupt sex scenes. Not really my vibe. 
I did enjoy the suspense and creepiness of Verity and Crew. 
Idk, this just wasn't my cup of tea but I respect others who like it.

This was book was really interesting and I found myself not wanting to put the book down, at first it was a little slow but once you reach a few chapters it it gets really good but the ending had me questioning whether what I was reading was actually what happened.

It really is a good story and I love the ending. Such a beautifully made plot leaving you with goosebumps. 

There has been moments where I've felt disgust, sadness, anger and awe to the stories. 

The only thing I wish, is that I was aware of how graphic and sexual some of the content was... Which made me skip some lines here and there.

Eitherway, it's an amazing story which I recommend. The plot is well made and at the end you won't know what is true and what is not.

A very intriguing and quick story! It caught my interest from the beginning and I was interested to keep reading. I do feel like the build up to the turning point took a while and more action could have happened in the middle. I do also wish that some of the book series that Verity wrote was included to get a sense of how her stories were written to see if her true self was written in her books.

I did have a feeling that Jeremy was involved in Verity’s accident, and I believe the truth is a mix of the manuscript and the letter.

This book is fucked up. 
Yes the ending was one hell of a plot twist but I don't know what I think of it. 

At least this book made me understand trigger warnings..
