Verity | Colleen Hoover | Book Review

 

“Our greatest evils flow from ourselves” by Jean Jacques Rousseau

Verity by Colleen Hoover talks about the evil in us, the goodness in us and the faith in us. 

Who is Verity? Is she good or bad? Evil or Saint? That’s the one question that hangs in the middle even after the climax. It’s the story of Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin who 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.

Now what I really about Coho books is the unique character names.. Willow from Layla, Verity and Lowen from Verity... The unique names connect me first to her books. The story line of Verity is thrilling and captivating. We can feel the creepiness, the jealousy and the hatred that the characters are portraying. But even in the uniqueness, I felt the last two chapters were not much suspenseful.

There are many intimate scenes which were just repetitive and there was a point when my heart said the same lines were boring, but Coho just took my words from my mouth and the next paragraph mentioned them as boring in the book. I loved it about Colleen Hoover because she thought that in a reader’s perspective and not from a writers point.

The book opens up the jealousy and evilness that we bury in us and the obsession that we have over some people. OLD or Obsessive love disorder is one such issue that is talked in a great deal in this book.

Even when the climax keeps us thinking about the right or wrong happened in this book, the entire read was beautiful. 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
