\ud83d\udcda Colleen Hoover is a polarizing writer <\/strong>\u2014<\/strong> young adults love her, while the internet <\/strong>despises her.<\/strong> Although the author has time and again been the topic of much controversy \u2014 particularly for romanticizing domestic abuse in her 2016 \u201cromance\u201d hit It Ends With Us<\/a>, which later was adapted<\/a> into a film starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni \u2014 she has, over the years, put out some pretty admirable novels, with Verity<\/a> standing out. <\/p>\n

Set to receive a screen adaptation in late 2026 starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, Verity is a change of pace for the veteran romance writer.<\/strong> A tense and gripping story, the novel follows Lowen, a hopeless, broke, and desperate writer seeking to make ends meet. When she\u2019s hired by Jeremy to ghostwrite for his \u2014 now bedridden \u2014 wife and bestselling author Verity Crawford, she naturally can\u2019t say no. The catch? It\u2019s a live-in position since Verity\u2019s notes are too complex and too many to move. <\/p>\n

Lowen\u2019s life is all smooth sailing for a while, busying herself with the daunting task of pretending to be the nation\u2019s most celebrated author <\/strong>\u2014 that is, until she finds something she wasn\u2019t meant to find. Tucked away alongside Verity\u2019s notes is none other than a manuscript that turns Lowen\u2019s world upside down. As she reads one chapter after another, she comes to realize that the reality of the situation is much darker than what she had signed up for, and if she wants to stay safe, she must remain silent.<\/p>\n

With alternating narratives shifting between Lowen\u2019s recollections and Verity\u2019s manuscript, readers are pulled into the drama<\/strong>, tasked with the impossible mission of deciding whom to believe \u2014 a dilemma that carries over until the very last sentence of the book. This isn\u2019t your typical whodunnit, nor is it a thriller with a twist easily surmised halfway through. It\u2019s a novel that will leave you utterly frustrated, confused, and just as lost as its protagonist \u2014 and it\u2019s one you need to read if you want to consider yourself a fan of the genre. <\/p>\n

Verity surprisingly proves to be a quick read.<\/strong> The pacing is on point, the plot is solid, and Hoover surprisingly delivers fully realized characters who are human and, therefore, flawed. If you\u2019re looking for a change of pace from your usual reads, we\u2019d argue you need not look further. <\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND IT-<\/strong> You can find the paperback version of Verity at Diwan<\/a>. You can also get the ebook on Amazon<\/a> at no charge with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
