Verity by Colleen Hoover

 Verity by Colleen Hoover

Rating: 4.5/5

Because of Colleen Hoovers immutable reputation for intricate romance novels, this was not at all what I expected to read when I first opened the book. Despite its innocent title, Verity features a brilliant work of relationship manipulation, trusting people, and familial care. Similarly to a recent novel I read, The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, Hoover brought a new perspective to the world of a strange couple, famous on the outside, but concealing many secrets. One of the parts I most enjoyed about the novel was reading Verity's, one of the main characters, manuscript while she took ill. It provided insight into the story, and helped developed the way both main characters thought in the past and present, and showcased how looks can be deceiving. This book was very interesting to read, and I loved how each page uncovered a secret.
