This book intrigued me from the start and I wanted to keep reading to find out more about the mind of verity. I feel like the spicy parts could have either been omitted or written better. Now as for the last pages of the book I’m not impressed. The ending! Ugh. Awful. I felt like it was rushed and did not follow the same intensity of the book. I have so many questions.

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.

 Honestly a bit creepy but Jeremy is such a romantic. I hate the last line so MUCH. This deviates so far from Colleen Hoover's usual writing style.
