Wow…

Now I get the hype over Hoover’s books. This was addicting, fast paced, and suspenseful. I had so many theories, each one squashed with a new chapter. I really enjoyed the mystery and thrill of this story, and will definitely be thinking about the characters and questioning the truth for weeks to come.

I really loved this one!!
Colleen Hoover is generally not my jam - her books are too lovey dovey for me. Verity however, is a thriller masterpiece. I was hooked the whole time. THE WHOLE TIME. also am I in love with Jeremy now? I think I might be. 

Great plot twist at the end. 

Warning though. If explicit graphic sexual content is not your fortè; this is not the book for you sis. Put the book down and run away. 

4.5 stars.

I have yet to write a 5 star review for a book but Verity has left me absolutely at a loss for words. I will avoid spoilers but this book contains all of what you would expect from a Colleen Hoover novel and more. 

I literally couldn’t put this book down and finished it in 2 days. I cannot recommend it enough!

I wanted to see what all the hype was surrounding Colleen Hoover (I had never read one of her books) and this book intrigued me. That being said, I very much enjoy a dark novel that has a twist so this did that for me. While her writing style isn’t my favorite, I still very much enjoyed the book and had a hard time putting it down. 
There were many gasps and ‘I need a minute’ moments that I appreciate in a book. And while there were a few things that I kind of saw coming, there was quite a few that I didn’t. 
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dark & twisty with a good bit of smut.
