antivancrowe's review against another edition

It just felt like a lot of straight nonsense, I didn't like how quickly Verity and Jeremy had sex and like all the time? Then Verity started to talk about fat people really grossly and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I can understand why people like Colleen Hoover as she is really easy to read, but I am not a fan.

Wow…

Now I get the hype over Hoover’s books. This was addicting, fast paced, and suspenseful. I had so many theories, each one squashed with a new chapter. I really enjoyed the mystery and thrill of this story, and will definitely be thinking about the characters and questioning the truth for weeks to come.

It’s not a great book; it lacks compelling ideas and it’s often unclear why the characters are doing whatever they are doing. The smut is IMO excessive to the point of being redundant rather than arousing. But hot damn, this book is hard to put down. If you’re looking for a fast, engrossing read, this is your book.

This book was hard to put down. I read it very quickly. The premise was interesting but the characters were not likable. The main character feels much younger than she's supposed to be. I really did not like the ending.
