So I got a real important question here.....how is it that main characters always read about the most pressing issues so damn slow? Like are you actually about to tell me this woman, this author, read one chapter of the manuscript per a ....day? She took WEEKS to read 19 bloody chapters. I would binge that shit in an hour. Hell, I bet even Jeremy read it in 3 seconds. But she took her sweet time like the annoying little vermin she is. First, the ending did not surprise me at all. Without trying to spoil anything, the ending relies on a familiar trope that I saw coming very early in the book. Lowen is a struggling writer who gets the opportunity of a lifetime to co-write a series with acclaimed author, Verity Crawford. When she arrives at Verity's home to do some research, she comes across a disturbing autobiography revealing the truth about all the tragic events in her life. Should Lowen let Verity's "dreamy" husband, Jeremy, know wassup? Or just sex him instead? Find out!

is it like a Mr Rochester thing? Because this book does seem constructed around Jane Eyre nods in many ways. Lowen "forgiving" or "justifying" Jeremy's double murder attempts was brutal. C'mon. Not during women's history month.

Their sex scenes were also about as hot as you'd expect two pieces of wood humping each other would be. There are two things that kind of bothered me, but with me, storytelling is everything. And this book had it in spades. Verity" is a departure from Colleen Hoover's usual writing style, but it showcases her immense talent and versatility as an author. It's a thrilling rollercoaster ride that will leave you breathless and craving for more. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers that delve into the depths of human nature, "Verity" is an absolute must-read.

Personally, if I was the editor of this book, I would have rewritten the ending, but (sadly) Colleen Hoover has not been ringing my phone off the hook. Come è possibile che dagli esami clinici (TC, PET o RM) nessuno si sia accorto che Verity era sveglia? All of the characters were done so well. I could just vision them in my head. I love her writing style. This was one intense read. Let me tell you this author writes so well. OMG!OMG! OMG! The ending was just perfect. I loved that twist. Wow!Perché Lowen non chiede mai a Jeremy spiegazioni sul fatto che le abbia mentito sul manoscritto di Verity? Ma quello che mi ha lasciato più basita è che alla fine, Verity perdona il marito nonostante abbia tentato di ucciderla. Dell’epilogo (che praticamente è stato aggiunto solo successivamente) se ne poteva fare tranquillamente a meno. La conclusione è che tutti i personaggi sono disturbati.

Have you ever finished a book and thought… WTF did I just read? Verity is one of those books that will do that to you. Word to the wise for CoHo fans: this is not your typical book from Colleen Hoover. It’s amazingly written and it’s a completely captivating read, but it’s so different from anything she’s ever put out before. Speaking of characters, Jeremy was nothing special either. He didn't play much of a role in the book, at least not actively. He was there to serve Verity's storyline and being the love interest. And that's that. He has a personality of a dry leaf and why both Verity and Lowen were obsessed with him...is a question for another day. Jeremy is not enigmatic, he is not mysterious, he is not anything and that's one of my biggest problems in the book. He is just so badly written, when there could have been soooo much Hoover could have done with his character. Why should I care about him?Andy Verity is the award-winning economics correspondent for BBC News, covering finance and business on the BBC radio and TV bulletins as well as reporting for BBC's Panorama, Newsnight and BBC Radio 4’s investigative strand, File on Four. He has led the media in exposing the true story behind the scandal of interest rate rigging, including a Panorama film revealing the Bank of England’s role in it and 'The Lowball Tapes', a 2022 podcast for BBC Radio 4 shortlisted for two awards. This is his first book. This book just tied with my favorite book for the year so far. When this writer writes another thriller, I will be snatching this one off the shelves right away. I strongly recommend this book to all thriller fans that love a disturbing and dark thriller. The tension and suspense in "Verity" are palpable, creating an atmosphere that is both chilling and addictive. Hoover expertly builds the suspense, keeping you guessing until the very end. The twists and turns are executed flawlessly, leaving no loose ends and providing a satisfying conclusion that will leave you reeling.
