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.
