Verity by, Colleen Hoover

Summary: Lowen is a nobody author who is scouted out to finish the three books in a series by Verity Crawford, a famous author who is no longer able to write due to a car accident. By chance, Lowen meets Jeremy, Verity’s husband to which offers his home to Lowen so she could go through all of Verity’s notes, outlines, etc. Lowen accepts the offer to finish the series and moves in to The Crawford’s home. When she arrives, she immediately feels like something isn’t right, and she’s right, there’s something not right in the house and it’s up to Lowen to figure out what that might be.

Thoughts: I. COULD. NOT. PUT. THIS. BOOK. DOWN. Everything about this book is what I enjoy reading- psychological thrillers, weirdos, and even some romance sprinkled in. Lost sleep over this book for sure, but rightfully so. It was a bit different than the other Colleen Hoover books I’ve read and it did not disappoint.

Criticisms: I didn’t really like how the author portrayed the ASD diagnosis. There was a part in the book that said one of the Crawford children’s teacher’s suspected the kid to have Aspergers Syndrome. This might just be because I have a background in education, but teachers should NOT be so quick to say a child has Aspergers. Aspergers is a form of autism and autism disorders spans almost indefinitely, therefore the teacher’s in the book would not have known that, AND for them to suggest a diagnosis, no thank you!

Rating: 4.5/5
