A review by kayleighrich
Verity by Colleen Hoover

2.0

I'm genuinely confused why this book is rated so high. It was definitely entertaining but in the same way shitty lifetime thriller movies are entertaining. The drama and the plot of this book was so ridiculous and over the top. The main character is extremely annoying and thinks she's a good person yet she's sleeping with a married guy while his comatose wife is down the hall? Also we're supposed to like Jeremy and justify the cheating just because he's hot and his wife might be a psycho? All the characters are awful. Sex scenes and Lowen's inner dialogue was cringey as hell. I rolled my eyes so many times while reading this book. The plot was just wild and unrealistic. Main character falls in love with Verity's boring husband after just two seconds. Verity is some how fooling every doctor/nurse/caretaker into believing she can't move or speak even though there is nothing medically wrong with her. There's literally a scene in this book where Lowen whispers to Verity something along the lines of "I'm going to f*ck your husband tonight" and calls her a c*nt which is HILARIOUS. And again...we're supposed to like this character and hate Verity. I think a lot of the high ratings are coming from readers who really like this author's romance books and don't really read thrillers. If you like the horror/thriller genre this book will just make you laugh.
