Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. You seek out people like you…people worse off than you…and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.” If you love thrillers with mind blowing plot twists, you will definitely love this one.“It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. This was a very good book however, it’s not one I would ever want to reread as the thought of the story gives me the chills. Verity is definitely not for the faint hearted so if you are triggered by murder, loss and the likes, please approach this book with caution.
Infact, I never saw anything that came at me in this book coming. The feeling it leaves you with is insane especially with an ending like that. It took me through so many emotions, anger, fear, disgust, confusion and I can’t stop thinking about Verity. I was enveloped in this world with Verity, Jeremy and Lowen. I am in awe of her imagination and how she can tell such a twisted tale.
I must say here that Colleen Hoover is a phenomenal writer. Wow! What a story! This book book drained me mentally and emotionally. This is a story about lies, deception, obsession, murder, loss and grief. Curiosity gets the better of her and she goes ahead to read the manuscript which reveals a can of worms beyond her imagination. As Lowen rummages through Verity’s notes and outlines in a bid to find inspiration to write, she discovers an autobiography Verity has written.
Although Lowen is worried that Verity’s shoes are too big for her to fill, she accepts the offer because she really needs the money and it would be a boost to her writing career. ‘Verity’ follows struggling writer Lowen as she is offered to complete a series for renowned bestselling author, Verity Crawford who was recently in an accident and is not able to complete her books. I went into reading this book blind as I didn’t read the blurb or any reviews of the book.
I have read quite a number of books by the author and was curious about this one. I recently joined an online book club and Verity is our book for the month of March.
