This was my first encounter with Colleen Hoover and I believe not all her books fall in the psychological genre, but I am sold. Thank you, Alicia, for the recommendation. This is not a book I would have expected my teenage daughter to recommend, but what a mind-blowing read. You can expect a spicy read full of explicit details as you explore the mind of a passionate author who does not hold back when writing her biography. This is a dark story that leaves you in awe.

The author manages to shock you on every page. Verity is a powerful work of fiction that will get under your skin no matter how seasoned your reading palate may be. Alicia read and reviewed this book in February this year and she has been telling me to read it ever since. I found myself almost speechless after reading this book. Sitting looking at a blank screen on my laptop, I have no idea where to start with this review. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime.
