Please read the warnings though. It's intense. I'm shocked how this went. Overall another great read from colleen hoover.

I just finished The Housemaid and saw lots of folks compare the book to Verity. So, it made sense to me for Verity to be my next read while The Housemaid was still fresh in my mind. That being said, take this review with a grain of salt.
Verity was okay but the whole time I was waiting for it to be great. Colleen Hoover's books are all over Booktok, so I had high hopes. The writing was okay. The plot fell a bit flat for me and definitely relied heavily on shock factor. The characters were predictable. I found the main character - Lowen - to be insufferable sometimes.
I want to try to read another one of Colleen Hoover's books to see if it's any better. I can't say this was a great first impression. I can appreciate that the book wants its reader to dive a bit deeper beneath the surface and question the reality that we are perceiving.

🇬🇧:
This book was a different kind of thriller than expected. At first I thought he was very superficial. I didn't feel like I was reading a thriller. This became clearer later. It is not really a thriller full of events, but the vibe is especially exciting. You spend the whole time waiting for action to be postponed. I had an idea all along what the plot would be, but I certainly didn't expect the ending. Before you start this book, I would read the trigger warnings, because they can be quite intense!
