Verity

"Find what you love and let it kill you"

I'm proud to announce that I finished reading my second Coho novel ! And let me tell you, it's a punch ! No really, I don't see how else to sum up this incredible, disturbing, creepy, and terrible psychological thriller.

Colleen Hoover has tried her hand at something other than contemporary romance and she mastered it perfectly. When my mother offered me this book and I first read the resumee, I thought this was going to be a classical (and yet very appreciated) love story. Husband, wife, misstress; and everything that comes in between. Well I was wrong, and I realised it from the first pages. Don't get me wrong, love is a part of the story (sex too), but it isn't what the story is about and it's so refreshing. 

I think this book is gonna stuck in my mind for a long time because I didn't expect to feel so many emotions while reading it. I didn't think I would be so shocked by the outcome either. Colleen Hoover took us far away from 'It Ends With Us', and I couldn't be happier she did. 

What I particularly loved about this book is that Verity is THE pivotal character of the book, although she is not a narrator. She is the most developed throughout the pages. It is with pleasure, disgust, and anger that I learned to discover the different facets of the writer. I absolutely devoured this immersive, tragic, and really well-constructed double story that turned my head. The characters are true enigmas, each with a dark side deep inside them. 

This reading will leave you with one unique question : How far can an author manipulate their reader ?
