Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. 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 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. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night her family was forever altered.
Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents could devastate the already grieving father. 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. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her.

Couldn't put this down. A highly addictive, page turning read.
Verity is a famous author who's rendered immobile and unresponsive after a car crash.
Jeremy, her husband, enlists the help of Lowen, a struggling author, to finish his wife's mega famous book series.
What unfolds next as Lowen moves into the family home is compulsive reading!!!!
I honestly do not know where to start. Or how. This novel left me feeling spent, as if I've not slept for 36 hours.
Have I not read It Ends with Us, I would assume Colleen Hoover is a freaking fantastic thriller/dark romance author. But either way, yes, yes, yes, she's freaking fantastic.
The story itself is dark, disturbing and very engaging. It's hard to stop reading. You just want to go on and on and on until the very last page. And then you will go “WTF!?” And then you feel like you can't stop thinking about the novel. It will take some time for you to digest the story, to digest the characters, to even fathom the truth. That is, if it is the truth after all.
If you feel like going down that dark, twisted road, pick this one up.
I read my first colleen hoover book in 2014, Maybe Someday , and i've read many of her books since then (but its been a while since i read her books.. excluding the re-read of IEWU) but my favourite book of hers is Confess (read 2015). Confess remained SUPERIOR, her best book by far... until now... maybe???
I think i like Confess a little bit more but the plot twists in this book threw me around the room and drowned me, like how can i not like it???? I was scared going into this as i haven't read a new colleen hoover book in a while as i only read them when my mind is ready.. sounds weird but you understand right? her books are the type of books that need you present and completely aware when reading.
So i picked this book up as i was in a big reading slump and only CH could solve it.
Spoilers from here on!! just warning in case the spoiler tag doesn't work!!
sooo... am i morally wrong for saying i side with jeremy? Whether Verity killed Harper or not.. she was too convincing in her manuscript and what kind of person would write something like that after their daughters death?? Why would you turn your daughters death into a little fantasy story?? Grief is an insane thing, especially when it comes to children loss but it doesn't look good for her. I felt sad for verity (if she is innocent) for losing her kids and then being accused and then her husband attempting to kill her 3 times (and the 4th attempt got her ass) and then resorting to fake being brain dead (not the right term but i can't think of the right term rn). Did she fake it so she had to stay with her husband and still control him or did she not fake it? Guess we'll never know. I think she killed her kid tbh.Jeremy (and all of us) thought she killed her own kid so he acted accordingly. Child killers get no sympathy from me.anyways i hope jeremy and whatever the main characters name is live happily ever after with crew and the new baby lol
