Ratings and reviews

🌀 BOOK REVIEW 🌀 VERITY ⭐⭐⭐ Spice 🌶️🌶️ By Colleen Hoover 🔹🔸🔹 Lowen is a struggling writer in financial crisis when she gets a job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen as a ghostwriter to complete the remaining books in Verity's successful series as his wife is injured. Lowen arrives at Crawford house, sorting through years worth of Verity's notes, to get her started. What she doesn't expect is to uncover an unfinished autobiography, that is never meant for anyone to read. It contains disturbing and intense admissions from Verity, including the day her daughter died. Lowen starts to have feelings for Jeremy but he is still in love with Verity. Lo consider telling him about manuscript. In the end she discovers something which totally contradicts the manuscript. And what's that? You need to find it for yourself! 🔹🔸🔹 The start of the book gave me goosebumps with a detailed description of an accident. I loved the book initially, it was compelling throughout. The Crawford house was so scary that it gave me chills. Loved the interactions between Lo & Jeremy. There were some scenes that got me a bit scared, including the living room one, IYKYK🤭 it was both funny & scary. 🔹🔸🔹 What I didn't like was the manuscript, with little information about important stuff and largely filled with s e x scenes. Of course there were some disturbing scenes including the hanger one! And I hated the end (and not because of how it ended), I know it's an open end book but still there wasn't enough explanation for how things turned out the way it did. Overall, it was mostly a good read for me and if you like thriller books mixed with a bit of spice, detailed scenes, you should go for it. 🔹🔸🔹 [One should know, this book contains dark and mature themes like murder, manipulation, and child abuse.] Pc from pinterest. 🔹🔸🔹

I have tried many times recently to get through a book, but haven't managed to. With this book however, from the first chapter, I knew undoubtedly that I would get to the end. I could not stop thinking about it after I started reading it, the characters, the theme.. had me gripped and at many times, breathing fast with anticipation! Sighs of relief, gasps of shock, warmth in my heart. This is the best book I've read in a very long time and will be excited to read more from this author!

Don't even have to read it to give it this rating. Anything written by this poor excuse of a writer and human deserves less than one star, but I can't give that rating. She makes disturbing plots and the romanticing of SA and r@pe, and the relationships with minors, making smut scenes with disgusting contexts across all of her books. It appals me to know these books can be published, and this woman is allowed to roam the earth free. Don't read anything she makes, this is just one of them.
