's review

really liked it

ALRIGHT. (Yes, I used this word purposely)

This wasn’t even on my TBR list yesterday morning, but after reading another rave review, I not only added it, but moved it straight to the top and read it almost entirely in one sitting-

IT IS THAT GRIPPING!!

Lowen Ashleigh begins her day witnessing the death of a man too busy on his cell phone to pay attention to his surroundings. “Death by routine�

The day has not started well.

But by the end of the day, she has been hired to complete the last three books in a successful series that author Verity (TRUTH) Crawford is unable to finish due to injury. The series is called “The Noble Virtues� and the three left are Courage, Truth and Honor.

Lowen arrives at the author’s home, to read the first six books, and to sort through her notes, hoping to find outlines for the remaining books. What she finds instead is the author’s autobiography, entitled “So Be It�.

It’s filled with chilling confessions, and chapter after chapter, of detailed sexual encounters with her husband Jeremy. (necessary for this plot, but a bit more than was necessary to get the point across-for me )

As Lowen learns more, through this autobiography, her own courage, truth and honor are about to be tested...

This was my first book by Colleen Hoover, since she usually writes “romance� and I don’t usually read that genre, but, I really enjoyed her first “romantic thriller� (at least the thriller part of it) and hope she will write more.

And, I liked that the ending leaves you wondering about the TRUTH...

Misty I soooo wanted to love this one, but for me, the twist just stretched the limits I’m able to achieve in order to suspend disbelief. I’ll admit, though, that this lady can write! Great review!


Jayme Thanks Misty! Hope your next book is a 5 ⭐️ read!


Jayme Thanks, Elyse...but it is told in the “first person� narrative so.....🤔🤗

Kate Riley Jayme This book was so in line with my type of genre..I enjoyed the ending which keeps you guessing. I have to say some of the story line left me frustrated and felt like it could’ve been weaved into the plot but that’s probably my mind overthinking it all. 5 stars for me because I could not put down and kept me guessing to the end and beyond!


Jayme Glad you enjoyed this as much as I did, Kate!! 👏🏻
