Finally decided to give a Colleen Hoover novel a shot - giving this a 7.2/10. 

It was an easy and quick read and intriguing enough for me to want to find out what’s really going on/ what is going to happen. Based on reviews, I was expecting a much bigger twist. I’m not really a fan of books without a conclusive ending and this book borderlines on “smut” which is really not my thing either. Other than those aspects, I felt it was a decent book but I wouldn’t really classify it as a “thriller”. If you do like books where you have to assume the ending/ you do like smut you might love this book. I also don’t really buy the main plot line but I can’t really say much more than that without giving away a huge part of the book. 

Overall, a simple/intriguing enough read which is perfect for when you’re on vacation!

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The characters are not lovable in the slightest, but that’s not a bad thing. The book feels more about the suspense of a terrifying situation, with a mystery to discover piece by bloody piece. This book delves into dark and sinister topics, such As: attempted murder, attempted infanticide, and actual murder. There were no trigger warnings at the beginning of the book that people would benefit from, as some moments in the book are deeply upsetting to read. overall, the suspenseful tragedy that is Verity is well worth the read if you can stomach some heavier topics.
