at the last minute try to make you question what is real.This book is fast paced, and unlike the other Hoover book I read, the characters are far more compelling and complex. I did actually care and couldn’t put it down.
But the ending was awful! Also!! To be so sex positive (even though the sex scenes were awful) and then throw that away and say that women aren’t that sexual?! WTH?!
I really enjoyed this until the ending, when it felt like she was wagging her fingers at me and going “Oooooooooooo.”
Alright, I just read the *bonus* epilogue online.

I am annoyed that she still didn't really give an answer? And I don't like that when I tell people I finished it the first question I get is - Do you think Verity is crazy or not? Um. Did we read the same book? It doesn't matter. She didn't give us enough detail either way to tell you whether Verity is crazy or not. This book isn't well written enough or gives enough detail to answer that question or to make me care. Gun to my head? I would say she isn't, and I would've said that before, and now especially after watching these gross ass men in the second epilogue.Graphic: Gaslighting, Murder, Toxic relationship, Death, Sexual content, Terminal illness, Child death, Abortion, and Violence
