I wish I would have read content/trigger warnings before reading this book. It’s very fast paced and a fun mystery. I love the twist at the end!

Omg this was one hell of a ride. I read this book in 2 days because I was just so curious about the story, about the plot, about the truth. The storyline was strong. Verity's character was really thought through. Lowen's and Jeremy's charachters were a bit more superficial, but oh well. In the end, it was about the truth about Verity. At some point I was a bit sceptical about the credibility of the story. Sometimes it was a bit too much in my opinion. Also, the romance between Lowen and Jeremy was a bit out of nowhere?? But it was nice to have a bit of romance in between the horrors written about in the manuscript. The plot was insane and had me gasping. Would definitely recommend this Colleen Hoover book.

Spoiler

I hated Lowen from the start sorry. She was awkward and shy all because she fucking broke her wrist one time? Like cmon bitch shut the fuck up. And then all of the sudden she grew balls and threatened Verity?? Like not the best character development I can’t lie. 
I mean I didn’t hate the plot but like, I get it, Verity liked her titties sucked and Lowen never wore a bra how many times do we have to go over this?
Anyways I don’t trust any of the narrators and I blame everyone for everything. 
CoHo is crazy and has had some bonkers likes. I wrote down my favorite which is “He fed me before he fucked me” which I think says a lot about her writing style. 
Overall I didn’t mind the read, the plot was gripping enough that I kept reading but I can’t lie in saying I feel unsatisfied with the ending and like the whole book was somewhat pointless.
