I had a lot of fun annotating this book. This is what I picked up Colleen hoover for, a disturbing messy psychosexual gothic. She lost me a little at the end, not as strong as it could have been, but still left room for the readers own interpretation.

Colleen Hoover just knows how to take your imagination and put you in the book! Verity is a true love meets heartbreak, heartbreak meets terror story in the best ways possible. I literally started this book yesterday and I couldn’t rip myself away from Low and Jeremy that I finished it just now as I type this. I was actually worried that Verity was not going to be given enough space in the book but Colleen put her through out the story even when she wasn’t being specifically mentioned you could feel the suspense in every word.
