This book pissed me off. I started skimming it just because I wanted to know what happened, but not because it was a gripping thriller but because I was annoyed and just wanted it to be done. The insertions of Verity’s unpublished manuscript were the parts that I found most interesting (don’t know what that says about me as a person)

so once it was revealed that those parts were just a writing exercise and she wasn’t actually that horrible of a mother just made me mad and reduces all the stakes down to nothing.

I was interested in what was happening, hence the additional star, but it ultimately left me annoyed and angry.

I didn’t love the ending to this one, but the journey was good up until then. The really intense, there were a few times I had to put down the book because there were a few parts that were too
Viscerally upsetting.

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!!

Wow, just wow! I didn't want to put this down. I had to know what came next. Reader beware: there are some really tough things to read here but the story had me hooked from start to finish.

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 🙏🏼
