"I could do things you would never forgive me for. But you'll always forgive your children" 

Es el segundo libro de Colleen que leo y el último que me llamaba la atención de la autora y quiero decir que en general es bueno, pero aún así tengo mis problemas, le hubiera dado menos si no es por ese final, QUEEE FINAAAL, la verdad no lo ví venir, me tomo por sorpresa yo juraba que la historia huba por un camino y tras me dió la vuelta por completo, si hay unos detalles que son super predecibles pero el principal, al menos a mi punto de vista, no lo fue.

"I wanted to rip my heart out and feed it to you because I knew you no longer had one of your own" 

Supongo que después de leer las últimas 50 págs todas las conductas problemáticas, raras, creepies y súper red flags, tienen sentido y explicación pero aún así A MI me incómodo mucho como para darle más estrellas, sobre todo la relación/dinámica entre Low y Jeremy 

Eso sí es súper rápido de leer y te engancha muy fácil, no lo podía soltar, 

WTF WTF WTF CON LAS ULTIMAS 100 PÁGINAS
Hay muchas cosas que pienso al respecto en primera creo que todos en esa casa están locos INCLUIDO EL NIÑO, en segunda no se que creer si el manuscrito o la carta por qué como dice verity en su carta en serio creemos que hay mujeres que ven el sexo así (que no sea parte de una película porno obv) pero a la vez como alguien puede escribir eso sobre sus hijas sea verdad o no? Es muy pronto para tener una conclusión pero yo creo que las dos son verdad, creo que verity mato a su hija y que Jeremy intento matar a verity cuando lo descubrió
También se me hace super interesante como low se fue convirtiendo poco a poco en verity y se obsesiona con Jeremy y como ella al principio dice que el otro chavo se enamoro de la idea de ella y no de ella misma y luego ella se enamora de la idea de Jeremy a través de el manyscrito de verity que del mismo Jeremy; igual Jeremy la manera en la que el había elegido desde antes a Low por qué le gustó el personaje de sus libros, eso te da un indicio de la idea general del libro:

Creemos todo lo que leemos

3.0

It was a good story, I only gave it 3 stars because i‘m just not a huge fan of thriller so it wasn’t my genre to begin with!! BUTTTTT I read this book because it was recommended so often and it killed me!! I had to lay it down a couple of times because it was too brutal for me to continue reading, as I was also in a „mental state“ where i was looking for a cute, romantic book and got completely fooled by the recommendations!! the story literally scared me so much!! But other than that, it was well written and really hooked me!! Still: if you get spooked easily and want to read something rather lighthearted I would NOT recommend this book!!
