I enjoyed the twists but there was far too many sex scenes for a thriller and I didn’t connect to the characters at all. It just felt a little flat is all. However, it was extremely easy to get through and I found that every time I picked it up I struggled to put it down!

I went into reading Verity thinking it was going to be like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It was so different, and much darker. I wish the author spent more time developing Jeremy and Low’s relationship, but she did a fantastic job describing Jeremy and Verity’s relationship. It was very chilling, and I was so disappointed at the end (

mostly because it wasn’t a happy one

Colleen Hoover used trigger warnings as a checklist and over-explained things too much to maintain the ‘suspense’ aspect of this suspense novel, but I found myself enjoying it and looking forward to reading further.
