A book has never stayed on my mind as much as Verity. I’ve loved every other book I’ve read by Colleen Hoover, but this is just a completely different genre, and she did amazing. She created a story that makes you think you know it all, and then makes you question everything. I couldn’t put it down, I read it in one sitting. The way that it gives you a little bit of information then switches point of views just makes you HAVE to keep reading because you are dying to know what happens and how it finishes. 
The more I think back, the more I doubt both the manuscript and the letter, and that’s what I love about this book. The autobiography was sickening, and I can’t imagine ever writing about your own children like that, author or not. There are things that point to both being true. Hopefully in September when the new edition is released, we will get some closure. Every character had something… off. Jeremy’s story didn’t add up, verity’s went don’t know is true, and the way lowen became obsessive with jeremy was in the same sense as “fictional” verity.
