â medium-paced, stand-alone pov
âin life, things never go quite the way you want them to. but when youâre creating your own fictional world, you can make everything happen exactly how you want to.â
you know the feeling when you think you know whatâs going to happen, but it turns out you are entirely wrong? thatâs what i felt when i finished this book. the story follows sylvia who is hired to take care of a bestselling authorâs wife, victoria, whose seemingly perfect life shatters after a tragic accident leaves her unable to communicate or care for herself. as the story goes, sylvia soon discovers that victoriaâs condition may not be as it seems.
when i read the first part, i suddenly remembered my favorite book of colleen hooverâverity. the story almost has the same concept as verity, especially the first few chapters. the plot was so interesting and it definitely got my attention right away. the fmcâsylviaâreally entertained me in the most irritating way. plus, everything she does and her stupid decisions made me so mad.
yes, the story seems predictable at first, but it wasnât. i love the fact that it gets weirder and weirder every flip of the page, to the point that i just couldnât put the book down. i canât even describe the frustration iâm feeling everytime the chapter ends with a cliffhanger. overall, it was a very easy and fun read.
