Verity by Colleen Hoover
☀️☀️🌤️
▪️Dark, gruesome and truly disturbing content (serious trigger warnings necessary for graphic descriptions of child abuse, self harm, suicidal ideation, etc) shelved between repetitive sex scenes I wanted to mean more than they ultimately did
▪️ Concept and overall plot were interesting and it was a captivating, quick read
▪️CH is not a thriller author by trade and it shows - the twist was about 2 steps away from being good but it fell short of being satisfying for me
▪️Love me an ambiguous ending and this helped a little but as said above the making of a good thriller is in the twist which wasn't very ✨wow✨
▪️I wanted to love this, and in the hands of a more experienced genre writer it could have been great, but it was just okay
