I want to preface my full review with the disclaimer that prior to reading this book, I liked Colleen Hoover as an author. However, instead of simply finding Verity’s old notes and outlines, Lowen discovers a manuscript for Verity’s autobiography. She is approached by an agent who then asks her to co-write the rest of an unfinished series written originally by Verity Crawford. The premise of the book starts with Lowen, a budding author who writes thriller novels. Michelle Davis, a former Hoover fan, writes she is not inclined to pick up another novel by the author after reading the horror-romance filled with unnecessary plotlines, cringey dialogue and an underdeveloped main character. The one thing we can praise Colleen for is creativity with this one. There are plot lines present that are completely unnecessary, character motivations that do not line up and just plain cringeworthy lines. Not only is the plot entirely implausible, but it is close to juvenile in construction. It is comparable to a fever dream in which nothing makes sense, and the only frightening aspect is that your mind came up with it. It is bold to say, but after reading “Verity,” I feel no inclination to read another Colleen Hoover book again.ĭescribing the plot of this book to friends brought myself to the brink of insanity.
