Verity makes me feel physically ill. Team manuscript.
Lowen is spineless, invasive, clingy, and a homewrecker.
Jeremy is also spineless, also a homewrecker, and somehow blinded to psychopathy with abundant fellatio.
Something about the way this was written, just thinking about one mother writing another mother's perspective in this way, that makes my skin crawl.
Verity solidifies for me that I find nothing redeemable or admirable about CoHo's writing. This was my last attempt.

I dont think the plot was terrible. I just think it could have been executed better. The story could be so dark and disturbing, but then a paragraph or so later there'd be a steamy sex scene. Idk, one of the two needed to be toned down a bit. The writing was also clunky, and I found a couple typos.
It did have a twist ending that I wasn't expecting!
But I'm glad Colleen Hoover has encouraged many people to start reading again. I feel like she's a good gateway author for those who might like romance and suspense.
