This was a solid 3.5 star read until the ending. I love the ending a lot. It's one thing to have a plot twist, but this is of a whole other world. I am speechless; highly recommend this one!!

My favorite Colleen Hoover book BY FAR!!! I think this style suits her sooooo much better than the romance novels I’ve read of hers. I flew through this book, and I was so immersed in it that I was actually starting to feel scared lol. I loved the transitions of what was going on in the house and switching to Verity’s manuscript. It was so dark, and I wanted to just keep reading and reading to see what other sick things Lowen would discover. I loved this twisted take on a thriller book. The ending truly left me questioning what was true and what wasn’t. A really good plot twist, even though I was sort of anticipating something to take a turn like that at the end. I just can’t emphasize enough though how much more enjoyable this book was for me compared to Ugly Love 😅 I’d love to see Colleen Hoover write more books in this style 🙏🏼

I have never hated a set of characters so completely. And that ending made me internally scream. I'm not okay.
