4.5

This book was SO gripping. I’m so impressed that Colleen Hoover can do both — heartbreaking romance AND freakishly intense thriller. The characters in this book were so interesting. Once you thought you knew them, everything would change and you’d be at a loss again. Unreliable narrators, morally grey characters. Very dark. Very good!!

and I’m a manuscript gal. Verity was effed in the head.
