I went into my first ever first Colleen Hoover novel totally blind and daaaamn, what a mindf*ck.
When Lowen Ashleigh is hired to co-author the last three books of Verity Crawford’s best-selling series, it’s practically a godsend that will save her from being broke, evicted, and jobless.
Lowen temporarily moves into the Crawford residence to begin her research for the novels. While looking through Verity’s office, Lowen discovers a dark, disturbing manuscript detailing the devastating tragedies that Verity and her husband, Jeremy, have experienced. The secrets in the manuscript are enough to make Lowen second-guess Verity’s coma-like state, how Jeremy can remain with her, and if it’s safe for anyone to be in the house with Verity.
This was one seriously twisted thriller, with spicy romance scenes, plot-twists at every corner, and a wild ending. I devoured it in two days simply because I couldn’t put it down (sorry, work).
