I come here as a mental health professional who hasn’t read anything except nonfiction psychology work for the last 8 years. This past week, I had two clients talk about how amazing this book was, and decided after hearing COUNTLESS rave reviews about Colleen Hoover to purchase it. It sat on my desk for a week before I finally picked it up and for the first time EVER - couldn’t put it down. I read this book from start to finish. Refusing to take my eyes off the words for the approximate 3 hours it took me to finish. I grew so invested in these characters - their stories - their deaths. It’s been about an hour since having completed the book, and I’m still uncertain as to whether or not I believe Miss Verity was as innocent as she says she was. (I think the psychologist in me knows she was a lying, narcissistic, psychopath, but I’m trying to step away from the science, okay?) ;) 

Here’s a shoutout to Colleen Hoover for igniting a love in reading that I thought disappeared long ago.
