A review by hspiceyson2
Verity by Colleen Hoover

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I've been around books for the past 6 Years and I know how popular Colleen Hoover is, however I have never read her work before. Booktok convinced me to read this taking this author from my should read pile to now I want to read more. I know this is different from her other work, but I absolutely loved this book! I never give 5 star reviews, but this one disvered it.. I'm horrible about reading what books are about before reading them so I had no idea what I was getting into. I was hooked from the very beginning. I could not put it down I just kept wanting to find out more. I was shocked and terrified the whole time. When I thought the book had resolved itself it twisted again. I know the main character is Lower, but I feel horrible for Jeremy. I was scared for both of them and crew. 
I do advise caution for anyone struggling with mental illness or child or infant loss. As someone who has lost babies I hate people like variety in her manuscript, and would not have been able to read this book at certain points in my life.
