Verity by Colleen Hoover

 Jesus funking Christ. This was my first Colleen Hoover book, I had no warning.

First up is the emotional turmoil churning through my gut, poking my heart with black fingers and my feet are quaking, I think my stomach dropped down into them.

I read Verity in an afternoon. The book trapped me, there were no out of place words or grammatical errors to pull me back to reality, kudos to Colleen and her editors.

The book has me wondering if the protagonist will spiral down the same path as her predecessor, and feeling as if I were the one who had to make her next decision. 

I feel shock, angst, and relief that it's over, but am finding it very hard not to cry in the confusion. I had to knock back a shot of Gaviscon and have been recuperating in bed for an hour, though it'll probably take me days to get over this.

It was an amazing and dark tale using such a simple baseline, and though I wish I'd never put myself through it I'd probably pick up another of Colleen's books. In the far future.

Read this book only if you're ready to feel awful, and probably only if you don't have kids.

PS. There's lots of sex and mentions thereof.

5 stars.
