So, when I started Verity, I was thinking, this isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought, well I guess Colleen Hoover isn’t that bad of a writer. But then about halfway through, I was really struggling to continue. Maybe it’s because I already knew exactly what happened, but it didn’t feel very suspenseful to me?

I’ve recently started reading more mysteries and thrillers and I’m always so elated when I’m not in the loop, when I’m guessing about what happens next. Even knowing the plot of this book, the parts I found shocking weren’t related to the thriller part.
The most shocking part is when Lowen lifts her pelvis up to keep Jeremy’s sperm inside her? A man she’s only just met really?? Yuuuuuck.
