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!!

4.0

Psychological thriller/drama/erotica. 

This book made me thoroughly enjoy being uncomfortable. There’s so many dark elements to it but the overall plot is fascinating and leaves you unsure what will happen at any given moment. 

It’s one of those books where you’re not sure if you can trust hard facts and then proves you right at the end.

Lots of sex that’s written in an excruciatingly uncomfortable but somehow still sexy way. 

It also falls into a weird category of I-don’t-like-the-main-character-but-I’m-still-routing-for-her, even though usually I can’t stand books like that. 

Honestly, I think it’s my favourite Colleen Hoover book so far. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s better, but the horror undertones and overall uneasy plot appeals to the horror movie fan in me massively.

So dark. So twisty. Omg.

Postpartum psychosis or just psychosis?! Who's to know. There was a lot to unpack in this and much of it was difficult to read as a mom myself. Even so, I couldn't put this down. 

This is the first CoHo book that I've read and actually really enjoyed. (Is enjoyed the right word when it comes to something this dark and twisty?) The romances in her other books seemed to give me "the ick" but this relationship was fine. Full of cringe moments but still fine.

The letter from Verity in the floor boards... is it the real truth or is the manuscript the real truth?
