Looking for a WTF read?! Verity has you covered � My first Colleen Hoover book and whoa, what a ride!

Struggling writer Lowen is hired by Jeremy Crawford to finish his wife’s successful book series after she’s been in a terrible accident. Lowen travels to the Crawford home to sort through Verity’s work, hoping to find an outline or rough draft of the next book that she might be able to work from. Instead, she finds an autobiography and gets sucked into Verity’s deep, dark confessions revealed in the manuscript. Lowen tries to keep it together and decides not to share it with Jeremy, fearing he’ll be further devastated after all the loss the Crawford family has already suffered, but she finds this increasingly hard as as her feelings for him grow.

I know from the many reviews I’ve read for Verity over the last few years, it’s much different than Hoover’s other stories. I tore through it, dying to know what would happen next, while cringing at the behavior going down � There are disturbing scenes in this book. The story is very compelling with a great pace of suspense, but far from pleasant.

Bianca Nice review, Brandice. I read some of her NA romance novels six years ago. I think I liked them at the time. This sounds different.


Canadian Jen I have this on my bookshelf and need to read it soon! Thanks for the nudge. I’ve heard and read good things about it


Teenie This book was soooo good! Glad you enjoyed it! 💜😃


Michael David (on hiatus) It was my first Hoover book too! Fantastic review, Brandice!


Nancy (playing catch-up) WTF is exactly what I said when I finished it! It was my first CoHo book and so different than her other books. 😂

Melissa ~ Bantering Books Great review, Brandice! I enjoy a good WTF read every once in awhile, which is why I have been planning for "Verity" to be my first CoHo read, too. :)


Farrah Yes!! Great review! Definitely some disturbing scenes! 🙂


DeAnn Great review Brandice. This was my first CoHo book.


Marilyn (not getting notifications) Wonderful review, Brandice! I had read Regretting You last year and loved it! I am looking forward to reading this one, too.

JanB I thought I was the only person who hadn't read a CoHo book (although maybe I am now? lol). I'm glad your first was a good one! Great review Brandice.`


NZLisaM Great review, Brandice. This was an insane read.


Sandra I’ve only read this one as well and loved it. It was a gripping read. I’ve also heard it’s very different from her other books so may not venture into her back catalogue. Fab review Brandice 💖

Thanks Marilyn, good to know about Regretting You � I’ll likely give one of her other books a shot eventually. The writing was compelling even with disturbing aspects in the story!

Lol, funny you should say that, Jan � I read this in a group of 5 and for 4 of us, it was actually our first CH book, but I know the feeling ;) Thanks!

Thanks Sandra, it was gripping! I might read one of her others but need to manage my expectations about it being much different. Glad you loved this one :)
