A review by linnaboobooks
Verity by Colleen Hoover
4.0
Content warning for child loss of two children, self-attempted abortion, cheating.
Going into this, I didn't know what to expect as I heard a lot of mixed opinions from the book community about it. But as I got into it - it was very disturbing in certain aspects of its content, especially if you're someone particularly sensitive to anything related to children. That's a huge part of the story that even I wasn't as prepared to see all that it went into.
Lowen intrigued me, her backstory of how she used to live with her mother and care for her now having to work as a co-author for someone else to ensure she can have a place to live. So her needing to go through these documents and boxes to find any plotting for the current novel that Verity left to keep in line with the other books in the series. And the unsurprising attraction between Lowen and Verity's husband Jeremy - kind of an expected trope to be found through their interactions. A disaster but an entertaining one.
There is a good bit of discussion of sexual activities and on-page content, and while I personally found it to work for the whole set-up, I don't recommend picking this up if you are not a person who wants to read smut-like passages every so many chapters.
