From the beginning, Verity sucks you into a tangled web of suspense. Lowen, a struggling writer, is hired to finish bestselling author Verity Crawford's series after Verity is incapacitated. But when Lowen stumbles upon Verity's autobiographical manuscript, things get wild. In the manuscript, Verity confesses to chilling secrets, especially about her disturbing behavior as a wife and mother, and the extremes she went to. As I read it, I was convinced Verity was unhinged—her manipulations, cruelty, and selfishness were beyond anything Lowen expected, and her actions left me questioning how anyone could be so calculating.
But here's the kicker: Colleen Hoover keeps you guessing. By the end, you're left wondering what was real. Did Verity's manuscript tell the truth, or was it a calculated, manipulative fiction? For me, the manuscript's version of Verity felt way too authentic and intense to dismiss. Team Manuscript all the way—it captured the darkness that seemed way too real.
Verity is a wild ride for anyone who loves psychological thrillers with moral ambiguity and unreliable narrators. It's intense, twisted, and leaves you questioning everything. If you haven't read it yet, brace yourself for a lot of “what just happened?!”
