Review
When struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh is offered the job of a lifetime, she can’t believe her luck. Verity Crawford, the famous author of a successful series, has been injured in a car accident and cannot finish the remaining books. Lowen is tasked with sorting through Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to complete the series. But what she uncovers in Verity’s chaotic office is an unpublished autobiography of Verity with bone-chilling admissions that Verity never intended for anyone to read.
As Lowen battles her own moral dilemmas, she finds herself drawn to Verity’s handsome husband, Jeremy. But as she delves deeper into the manuscript, she realizes the extent to which Verity’s words could devastate Jeremy. Torn between loyalty and self-preservation, Lowen must decide how far she will go to keep such terrible things hidden.
Colleen Hoover’s Verity is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The characters are complex and intriguing, and the plot is full of unexpected twists and turns.

As Lowen delves deeper into Verity’s work, she starts to uncover dark secrets that could destroy Verity’s reputation and legacy. But as she continues to unearth the truth, she also starts to question her own moral compass and whether she is doing the right thing by keeping Verity’s secrets buried.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this novel is how it explores the fine line between love and obsession.
