The writing style was nothing spectacular. The characters lacked any real personality. Lowen is so isolated, and I hate it. I know why it is done, but this book and pretty much all the relationships and interactions in it are so toxic. I legitimately do not understand why this is considered a romance. Verity and Jeremy have sex, great.
The reason my rating is so high is because I could not put the book down. I was so intrigued about the twist that my girlfriend kept mentioning. Reading the ending of Verity, I physically had to stop and process what the hell was going on. While I may not agree with the ending, it was good and had me thinking. I'm still thinking about it.

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.

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.
