Author: Colleen Hoover
Title: Verity
Rated very R***
I am giggling at myself. Did any of you catch what I just did? Very R and Veri-ty. That wasn’t even on purpose. I put very R because there are some gratuitous love scenes gratuitous meaning (according to google) uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted. Thanks Waynes World for the reference. If you haven’t seen it you should watch it and educate yourself. And also because there are some very graphic and disturbing scenes that aren’t for the faint of heart. (That’s all I can say about that without a spoiler alert)
So anyway, I. Loved. This. Book. I can’t give her position as my favorite author because that is held by Ruth Ware but Mz. Hoover is close behind. I read the version of Verity that has the epilogue. For those of you unfamiliar, the reader is presented, in this book, with 2 realities and a sudden end leaving the reader wondering which was the truth and which was the lie. The epilogue was added after the original edition was published. Apparently answering the question of which reality was true and which was false. I stopped reading it a few pages in. I liked the cliffhanger much better. Please weigh in in the comments.
Update, February 9, 2025. Since finishing this book I’ve come to a conclusion. The husband should know the truth from the false. I mean, he lived with her. He’d know, right?
