Didn't love the content and hated the ending. The writing is engaging though, and it was a quick read.

A seriously dark psychological thriller that challenges the reader in unexpected ways. Is the Crawford family just very unlucky or is there a seriously disturbed person within it? What version of the story is true? 
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling author when an outstanding opportunity falls into her lap: finish a hugely successful series of books after the writer is seriously injured in a car accident. The money is more than she has ever made, and would solve her current financial problems that resulted from caring for her terminally ill mother.
When she arrives at the Crawford home to look through Verity's office for any notes or outlines for the future books, she is drawn into the tragic situation. How does a family lose 2 children in separate accidents,  and then the mother nearly dies in a third one, all within a few months? What is going on,  and has Lowen put herself in danger?

I read this in 3 hours so i’d say it was an easy read. I had figured out the ending about halfway through the book but it still managed to surprise me with the twist at the end that I did not expect! I’m not a fan of the way Hoover writes but I will say this was an unexpected book and it was interesting!

🇫🇮 Colleen Hoover osaa ainakin kirjoittaa kirjan, jota ei malta laskea käsistään. Tämänkin kirjan suosion ymmärtää, kun kirjan saa loppuun. Osan kirjan tapahtumista arvasin, mutta kyllä tämä silti jätti ihmettelemään kirjan loputtua.

Jos haluat kirjan, joka onnistuu yllättämään, niin voin suositella kirjaa.  Nyt jään odottamaan, että loput kirjakerhosta saa tämän loppuun ja pääsen keskustelemaan kaikesta! 👀

🇬🇧 Colleen Hoover knows how to write a book you can not put down. You will understand the popularity of this book when you finish the book. I guessed some of the events in the book, but this still left me wondering when the book ended.

If you want a book that manages to surprise you, I can recommend the book. Now I'll wait for the rest of the book club to finish this and so I can talk about everything! 👀
