📚 Verity (2018) by Colleen Hoover
• Genre: Psychological Thriller
• My Rating: 2.5⭐️
When Lowen is hired to complete a bestselling author's unfinished series, she moves into the author's home to review notes and research materials. While there, she uncovers a manuscript that raises disturbing questions about the family she is living with.
Although the (very slow) reading of the auto-biographical manuscript points to Verity being extremely unhinged and psychopathic, I felt like Lowen could have read it on the first night and just ran off or something. My main prediction about the unexplained incidents proved correct, however I didn't expect the ending. It was rather anti-climactic, happened fairly abruptly, and to me reveals Lowen as a weak character and someone I came to pity. This bonus chapter solidified this for me even further. Most of the novel kept me turning the pages, but I simply didn't like the ending.
🎬 Film adaptation is out now in theatres. The trailer made it look better than the book, which may well be the case, so it's in my soon-to-watch list.
