Lots of mystery and the truth unraveling slowly in this book. Some very dark topics so check content warnings. I was very pulled by this book to keep finding out what was going on but felt like the ending kind of duped me. I enjoyed the mystery of the story so gave a 4 star rating but feel a little unsatisfied by it.

I read this one years ago and didn't really remember the details.  I kept seeing it pop up on "best books to read" lists and since I'd just finished the "Starts/Ends with Us" series decided to re-read it. Glad I did.  Such a suspenseful book.  Creepy and fascinating at the same time.  It's one of those "hard to put down" books.

4.5

VERITY was my first exposure to the world of Colleen Hoover. I was told from the beginning that it is very different from her other works, which actually makes me sad because I want more like it. 

This book was a delight to read from the very beginning. When a book starts in such a vivid way, it better live up to the adventure and thrill of the first chapter. And this one definitely did. I was constantly having to remind myself that I need to put the book down and actually live my daily life.

While I do believe that the overall plot was predictable, I only think that is because I tend to read a lot of thrillers and have read books that I believe were the inspiration for the plot of this one.

One warning to potential readers: there are some very disturbing aspects of this book and could potentially be triggering, especially to people with children.

This book made me end on wtf 
Then another epilogue came out, and it made me wonder what had just happened. I loved the plot twists and the emphasis on these characters. Thank you to Colleen Hoover for making another amazing, 'Can't Put It Down' book.

this book may trigger some things because of the children in the car accident but it is a really well written book
