TEAM MANUSCRIPT!!!!!!!!!!

For the Team Letter people out there, how could you think Verity didn’t do kill her daughter? Like she admitted to attempting to kill her daughter in the womb!! And she only wrote the letter when Lowen read the manuscript. 

I don’t personally like Jeremy and Lowen together. I guess Jeremy likes crazy girls. Lol. Jeremy doesn’t seem fully trustworthy either tho … he did immediately try to kill Verity when he read the manuscript. 

Colleen Hoover could somehow convince me that Verity killed her daughter and Jeremy tried to kill her. Therefore meaning parts of letter and manuscript are real. For Lowen’s sake, I hope not.

meh didn't really like the book and it was very predictable. I feel like a lot of the appeal comes from the scandal of it all but it's just poorly written and I’m not super interested in this sensationalism. feels like it's just a bunch of sad and dark stuff thrown in together for a sad and dark soup

Best Colleen Hoover book I’ve read this far and completely different from what she’s used to writing.
