Book Review: Verity

 What a rollercoaster of a book. I've heard about this book from several people. About Coleen Hoover in general and how great her books were. But whenever I read the descriptions of her books I was turned off by the themes. I don't like tragic stories mostly. And I heat reading about injustice. That's what I read the books were about.

But my co-worker continued to insist and the book she said I should read about her was Verity. And so I eventually go to it.

I must say that the book starts weird, with an event that apparently makes no sense, but a good hook. Then we meet the characters and everything looks fine. Until it isn't.

There are horrible scenes about a person doing horrible things to her spouse and children. So much that I decided NOT to recommend the book to my teenage daughter (who reads about everything she can get her hands on). 

I read on anyway, and the ending was completely worth it. I did have to suffer a lot to get there, but eventually, I did. It was a twist, and even when some things were still horrible, the shock of learning the truth over came my initial dislike for the story.

Do I recommend it? I guess I do. But beware if you are like me, someone who doesn't like reading about cruelty and injustice.

Cheers!
