Loved this book!! This was a great book that kept me on my seat wanting more and more with every turn of the page. Beautifully written!
I want to say that I started with this book. It’s the only Colleen Hoover book I’ve read. But omg it was the best book I’ve ever read. I’m not sure she can beat this one, but here I am buying the next one to see! But beware cause this one is hard to read. I was uncomfortable many times, but couldn’t put it down! 😍
Amazing! There were so many unexpected twists.
This book was worth the hype. Loved it from beginning to end.
Amazing read!! Sad it’s over because I don’t know if I’ll find another book as good as this one!!
I’m usually not a book reader but my friends convinced me to read this and let me say that it was well worth the 6 hours that it took me to read this. Literally read this in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. A thriller with some twists and turns and truly made me kind of scared and creeped out in my own home while reading. I definitely recommend reading this if you want a start into reading because now I am obsessed.
OMG!! I can’t begin to explain the rush of emotions I’m feeling after finishing this book!! It all makes sense but what made sense before also still makes sense!! I fell in and out of love so many times with so many characters. Questioning all options that were presented. I still was not prepared for the ending!! Colleen Hoover has gained another fan!!
Parts of this book had me sick to my stomach and unable to sleep until I knew what happened next. A truly enjoyable yet adrenaline invoking read.
This was amazing!
Very good book I could not put it down. I felt angry and worried about the characters I wanted to find out what was happening. Just a really good book and very well written
Shook! Definitely plays with your trust issues!
best book i have read in while…. Wow, I could not put it down. The thrill and just wanting to know what happens next was so intriguing!!! SO GOOD
Many unexpected twists. Couldn’t stop reading. Finished this book in 3 days.
This is hands down the best book I’ve ever read.
The book was good, but she could have been less vulgar in the sex scenes. The reader has a. Imagination let us use them. Your blunt delivery and lack of vocabulary was disappointing. I also find the last letter written by Verity was a little long ruined the ending. It summed up the whole book.
This book is amazing, it absolutely keeps you wanting more. I began reading and never dropped the book until I was finished. A great romance/thriller book, I had a friend that never reads start this book and instantly she couldn’t drop it as well! On spicy level I’d give it a 3/5 there were some spicy moments but not to to many !
I heard all of the hype about Colleen Hoover’s books so I decided to give this one a go… when I tell you this book had me on the edge of my seat from the first page until the very last.
This book is twisted! A very good read if you enjoy thrillers. You don’t know who or what to believe by the end!
I tried to put down this book and couldn’t. I wanted to throw my phone away several times, I got scared, cried, laughed…. This is my first read for this genre and I absolutely loved it.
This book has me audibly gasping multiple times. I could not put this book down!

She never disappoints!!!!! Just read the book !
I’ve never read a book so fast!!! I could not put it down!
OMG, what a whirlwind of events!!! Had me questioning everything! Good mix of eerie, suspense, doubt, love. Such an amazing plot line.
I was captivated the entire time. What a devilish delight!
Wow! Just wow. Great thriller!
I haven’t read a book in years due to becoming a mom, work and life. I decided on a whim to read this now that my kids are older & I was immediately drawn in and unable to put it down. Very well written, I finished the entire thing in 2 days.
My goodness!
A M A Z I N G. Will forever be my fav CoHo book!!!!
I don’t even know where to begin. This is book is a complete waste of time to read. The sample drew me in but boy did it go downhill from there. Way too many sex scenes that are so poorly written it makes you cringe, the characters are shallow and unbelievable. I rarely write reviews but if you think you want to read this book get it from a library. I wasted my money on this one. I kept thinking there will be a good ending to bring it all together but unfortunately not.
This story was crazy from the start. The ending felt a little rushed to tie up loose ends but over all fantastic. Lots of mixed emotions while reading this book!
Great read
Very dark and contains death of children so avoid if that is a trigger. Huge suspense. Couldn’t put it down and is a good read if you could tolerate the darkness
Very convincing. Not crazy about the ending but a page turner.
Best.Book.Ever.
read it in one day!! kept me on my toes the whole time
Amazing read! Extremely well written and hard to put down. Bravo!
But quickly becomes boring. A disappointment.
I got this book for cheap and I’m glad. None of the characters were likeable. There were a few creepy moments but the rest of it was meh. I don’t understand the good reviews.
I love this book. I was on the edge of my seat all the time.
Rollercoaster. Great read
Terrible, embarrassing writing. Don’t waste your time or money. Reminded me of 50 Shades but worse.
This book definitely had me at edge the whole entire time. And even the ending is still mind bottling.
This book draws you in. It’s so good you have to keep reading I finished this book in the span of two days, all because I couldn’t put it down.
This book was quite a trip. There were a few things that felt almost formulaic, but the book as a whole is pretty engrossing! It definitely hooked me.
I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. Great read!!
This book will have your jaw on the floor by the end of it. There’s also a secret chapter you can find on the internet after reading. Read it, you won’t regret it!
kept me on my toes the entire time !!! such a page turner ❤️
I read mixed reviews before I read it, but in my honest opinion I really enjoyed it. It’s an easy read, so I finished it in 3 days. The ending was unexpected at least for me I couldn’t tell exactly what was going to happen in the end but the book disturbed me and then made me cry in the end.
Loved this! Written perfectly, good plot!

WOW just wow - absolutely speechless
Really liked the twists and turns. The sex scenes seemed melded into the story and not extraneous.
Very good read… finished it I’m a day
Mediocre writing. Interesting character details that end up nowhere. Boring and shallow romance. Predictable plot twist. Rushed ending with an awkward sounding letter. And, again, mediocre writing. I was excited to read this book because of all the hype, and there were parts (So Be It chapters) that had me pretty disturbed (probably because I have a baby), but the ending just left me feeling blah.
the author evokes some strong feelings , but left me with ones I don't enjoy. I can see this being a very divisive book. Interesting and compelling, but ...the last bite of this book doesn't take good! I admire the author for doing it though and still enjoyed the walk there
That twist… oh my good god that twist. Read this book
WOW best read ever. L
I quite literally didn't put this book down. I completed it in less than 4 days after not reading for years. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get back into reading. The mix of thriller and romance are perfect. This book will leave you thinking about the ending for weeks!
Binge worthy reading. Definitely a suspenseful thriller. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book so well done.
I paid for the entire novel but I only got 26 pages and it says finished?
Read this book in one sitting. Brilliant.
Great Suspense, but i didn't like the ending, I want to know the answers!!
Intense, suspenseful, even scary to me. I was captivated! One of those books where you just can’t set it down until you’re finished. Amazing work!
I loved the plot twist and everything on the way towards it.
I could not put this book down, It gripped my attention till the last page. I found parts of the book dragged on a little, as it felt like she was rambling on. Despite that, this was one of the most intense books that I’ve read in a long time. I felt disturbed at what I was reading, yet I couldn’t stop.
This book was one of the best I read, had me on my toes the whole time and the ending kept me spinning over and over
Great summer read. Suspenseful! I read it in 2 days!
It was meh. I thought there would be a big twist, I even thought up some that it could be the whole way excited to see what would happen but nope it had no twist, basically told you what would happen as you read it. Even the sex talk was blah. Honestly expected better from the other reviews.
This book almost had me crying and covering my eyes at some points, but I couldn’t put it down. Literally couldn’t go to sleep till I finished it. Have it 4 stars but more like a 4.5. Didn’t love the ending and some of it was almost too disturbing, but it’s also what makes it so good at the same time. Definitely recommend!
As an introduction to Colleen Hoover, I was awestruck by the mastery of her craft: thrillers A writer writing about two writers from all perspectives leaving the reader wanting to figure out what was the truth. I’m not sure I did.
Loved the book, always had me captivated and wanted to read more!
I had a completely different impression from the reviews and the description. Very disappointed. Waste of time.
The ending was quite unexpected, worth reading.
Coming from a girl who hasn’t finished a full book in years…. this book kept me wanting more! So good, so thrilling!
My first COHO read and definitely did not disappoint!! This is more of a domestic & psychological thriller so it checked off everything for me at least. It’s got some hot and heavy descriptive moments but it was the perfect touch.
I loved It ends with us and November 9, I was so excited for a thriller because of the reviews but this book was boring to me, I was expecting to be up all night but it was disappointing.
Couldn’t put it down.
Although this book captivated me right from the beginning , I really hated it! I found so much of it sickening and disturbing and the ending was ridiculous!
Love this book! I like that by the end you can make your own thoughts and interpretation!
Absolute page turner, I couldn’t put it down. However, after I finished it I had extreme anxiety and it kept me awake for 4 hours. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who struggles with mental health issues as there is a few triggering events. This may be a spoil but it’s worth mentioning that there is child abuse/neglect mentioned that made me physically ill. Such a change from Colleens usual writing & I’m here for it!
Book was so amazing. I could not put it down. I will tell you that there is a trigger warning in the book.
Couldn’t put it down.
Honestly .. mind blowing. It was one of the best books with amazing writing that kept me at the edge of my seat till the end. It was a treat to read.
Great book.Highly recommend!
This novel was amazing start to finish. Couldn’t put it down.
I’m exhausted but I couldn’t put this book down. Bravo, absolutely captivating. 💕
Absolutely blew me away!
Read the entire thing in one sitting, absolutely loved it. Kept me intrigued the whole time. 10/10.
I love Colleen, I’ve read almost every single one of her books. She never fails to have me on my feet! This was different to what she usually does and from what I usually read and I LOVED every second of it!!
Grabbed me from the start and I ate it up in two sittings-it’s really good
I really enjoyed this writing style from Colleen Hoover. Very well done!
The ending is beautiful, making me think of all of the possibilities. Great flow.
Going by the reviews i thought this book was going to be amazing. It has real potential. I feel like this could have been a suspenseful thriller but fell short trying to be a sexy thriller. The writing is really good which makes it more disappointing.

Loved this! Written perfectly, good plot!
the book is so boring and slow at first, but i promise keep reading and it gets SO MUCH BETTER!!!
This book got me on the edge of my seatttttt!! Finished it in 3 days! Hands down will be one of my favorite books! If you’re into thriller/ romance/ mystery, must read!
I’m usually an audiobooks person but I kept hearing about the hype of this book. The HYPE is real. I couldn’t put it down. I’m extremely busy so it took about a few weeks to finish. This book is not for the faint of heart. It’s graphic, sexual, emotional, suspenseful. Seriously was on the edgy of my seat. Great horror story!
This book is just dark, moving, and really captivates you. I could not put it down. The way she writes really draws you in. Do yourself a favor and read this book!
I actually hated this book. Like 80% of the book is sex scenes, and and the protag is a whiny weirdo. It’s not well written in my opinion
A must read book! Very interesting and keeps you needing to know more.
Read this in 2 days. Was locked in!
Kept me reading until the end. Loved it!
After so many reviews about the amount of sex in the book I was expecting to read a trashy smut book. It couldn’t be further from the truth. This book is well written and any sex in the book is context for character building. Fantastic twist in the end. I did NOT see that coming!!!
WOOOOOOW emotions all over the place could not stop reading love it sm
I suppose one could call Verity cleverly written, but that’s all. It was an excuse for a romance novelist to throw a curveball. Nevertheless, I powered through to the last page, only to regret I even started the book!
I can’t explain it! I want more please 🙏🏽
If I could give this book ten stars I would. Fast paced, leaves you hanging onto every word. Read the whole book in less than a day. Did not expect the ending! Highly recommend.
this is a must read. i couldn’t put it down until i finished it in one sitting. the intensity of this book is insane and i love it!! amazing
Ugh… I’m so sad that I’ve come to an end with this book. It was everything from having me at the edge of my seat, to sweating from all of the hot heated love making. I wish it wasn’t over…
I was so sad when the book was over! I would find myself itching for the next time I would be able to read it!
Fantastic book, one of the best storylines I’ve ever read. I’m sad it’s over!
Very hard to put down! I’m so overwhelmed with so many emotions after reading Verity.
How it made you want to keep reading. How it was a little scary at times. It was a really good
I’ll preface I’m not into THAT kind of romance books. I saw reviews and thought it would be good. Really attention grabbing at first, the plot kept me reading but I could have done without the descriptive sex stuff. I finished it with the crazy plot twist at the end which was worth it but I don’t recommend this book to friends for the sexual content.
INSANE plot twist ending, could not stop reading.
So, as a thriller 10/10. Content and what the book revolves around … This book was a thrilling mystery and I will admit I could not put it down but it felt like the ENTIRE book revolves around sex. Every other page was about sex or people wanting to have sex. I get that it partially lends itself to the plot. I just feel like this could have been a quality book if it wasn’t so filled with that. But, Colleen Hoover is a brilliant author and I enjoyed the thrilling parts of this book
It kept me intrigued. I couldn’t stop reading because I wanted to know what happened next.
10/10!!! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! INCREDIBLE!!
Oh man! I was not expecting this book to take as many turns as it did. Reading this book after Ugly Love was a huge change of pace but it was perfect!!
Such a good read! Very captivating and hard to put down. I need another one. 10/10 for me. I’ll forever love Low and Jeremy. Verity RIP
Oh. My. Gosh! I read the entire book in a day. Couldn’t put it down. It had everything you need for a good book. The romance, humor, mystery, thrills, devastation, you name it.
The suspense is insane
I loved the twists and turns of this book.
Best psychological thriller. So many twists and turns, it’s hard to find a spot to pause and put the book down! Hands down one of my favorite books
Recommended by a friend, I bought this book as a vacation read. I’d just finished Ugly Love, not realizing before I started that Ugly was a romance. Not my cup of tea. I thought this psychological thriller might be an improvement. This book was as predictable as Ugly Love (just with a touch less sex), with a disappointing, unsatisfying ending. I found the characters one dimensional and unrelatable.
It was good but I needed more idk
This is the craziest book I have ever read. If you want to be creeped out you definitely need to read it. It sort of leaves you feeling empty and confused. I also did not understand the cover until I read the whole thing. The author did an amazing job with the novel.
I couldn’t put the book down! I read it in just a few hours. I wish there was more!
Could not put this one down. I loved the mystery and touch of darkness, and of course the ending was so interesting. 10/10 recommend. 😊
Had me on my toes until the last page!!
One of the best books I’ve read in years!!
Brilliant
Im left speechless. I finished the whole 700 or so page book in a day. Makes me think alot about my own love. I love you Katherine❤️
Okay I have a horrible attention span but I read this book in one sitting. I cannot get over the twists and turns and the ending. I love it!
So, which is it at the end?
