I actually, rather grudgingly, have to give this a good rating. It's ridiculous, it's batshit crazy. It made me laugh at moments it shouldn't have *because* it was batshit crazy. But it did have me invested and the ending did actually get me. I wasn't expecting that. And the writing was good barring the profound amount of sex and absurdity.

This book was dark and twisty. The ending was not what I expected but I still feel that trigger warnings should be made at the beginning of the book

What a unique plot. I have never read or heard of a story similar to this one. 

I loved how this was staged. A ghost writer who thinks the original writer is faking her paralysis. A manuscript that makes the original writer sound like a psychopath. A rocky past. I can’t decide if the original author is just really good at writing or a psychopath. I feel like she’s a psychopath, but I don’t know. I wish the ending was slower. I don’t like how Jeremy just kills Verity on spot. It was so quick. I get that the letter is supposed to 180 a-ha moment but I wish the turn around time between the two was slower or written differently.

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 🙏🏼

OMG. I LOVE the twisty nature of this book. Whilst a little slow to start you’ll want to clear up your calendar for the second half of this book. Oh my.
