Verity

I had never read a Colleen Hoover book when Mem left me the collector’s edition, with a bonus chapter, of Verity. Apparently this book became a TikTok sensation when first published and is a bit of a departure for the author known for her light and fluffy romances. I read the book in a day during winter break. Nonetheless, I wasn’t too impressed. Yes it was a twisted mystery with a graphically horrific beginning that propelled forward and held my attention with suspense and gratuitous sex scenes. But the ending left me deflated and nonplussed.
