Read the entire book in one sitting, probably because it was so uncomfortable I needed to get to the end. A little gratuitous with the sex scenes which isn’t my jam but worked for the plot. Definitely need a breather from thrillers after this one WHEW!

✨ Gifted ✨

I swore never to read another Colleen Hoover after ‘It Ends With Us’, but since my friend bought this for me I decided I might as well give it a go.

Devoured it, only because everyone was so delusional and had to be questioned! I kept saying ‘She crazy girl, she crazy’ because I could not believe Verity’s audacity 🥲

Do we believe the letter or the manuscript?! I was inclined to believe the letter but then who can write such horrors in vivid detail without having experienced them?! 😫

I’m giving this 3 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨ Content warnings will also be included below.

🇳🇱: Dit boek was een ander soort thriller dan verwacht. In het begin vond ik hem erg oppervlakkig. Ik had niet het idee dat ik een thriller las. Later werd dit duidelijker. Het is niet echt een thriller vol gebeurtenissen, maar vooral de vibe is spannend. Je zit de hele tijd te wachten op actie die uitgesteld wordt. Ik had de hele tijd al het idee wat het plot zou zijn, maar het einde had ik zeker niet verwacht.  Voordat je in dit boek begint zou ik wel de trigger warnings lezen, want die kunnen vrij heftig zijn!

🇬🇧: 
    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!
