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.

Thanks Bianca, it’s my understanding this one is really different though I would like to try one of her other books :)

Thank you, Teenie and Michael! This one was definitely a wild ride! 🤯😉

A total WTF read, Nancy! ;) I’m glad you found it engaging too!

Thanks Melissa, can’t wait to hear what you think once you have a chance to read it!

Thanks DeAnn, definitely an unusual ride!

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!

It really was, Lisa! 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 :)

Thank you, Fran! :)

Thanks, Yun! If CH writes more in this genre, I’ll definitely read it, completely gripping! :)

Thanks Michelle, yes! A WTF fun ride ;)
