Verity By Collen Hoover Book Review

Synopsis:

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job off of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died. Lowen decided to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit is he if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.

My Review:

Excuse the language, but this book blew my fucking mind!!! At first I felt so bad for Verity, and Jeremy they have had to suffer not one, but two deaths, being their twin daughters. Then Verity is in a bad wreck that leaves her paralyzed. So therefore she is unable to finish her contract to write the rest of her series. Enter Lowen, who has never read the series so therefore she is having to stay at their home in order to get all the information that she needs to write the next two books in the series.

I have to say, you end up wondering are you team Verity, or team Jeremy. This book was one wild ride filled with lies, deception, tragedy, death, loss, and romance. I hated Verity by the end of this book. Lowen had a weird feeling while staying there, she didn’t feel safe, she was scared all the time. This book deserved way more than 5 stars, this was probably one of my all time favorites of the year.

About the book:

Lydia Quixano Perez lives in Mexico city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. Even though she knows they’ll never sell, Lydia stocks some of her all-time favorite books in her store. And then one day a man enters the shop to browse and comes up to the register with four books he would like to buy — two of them her favorites. Javier is erudite. He is charming. And, unbeknownst to Lydia, he is the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city. When Lydia’s husband’s tell-all profile of Javier is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.

My review:

This book was amazing and a huge eye opener, as to how migrants suffered in their own cities, and homes. How they fled thier homes due to violence, for their own safety. This book was terrifying and absolutely wonderful at the same time. We had the cartels and narcos who were just brutual.

This story is also about a massacre that made Lydia and her son run for their lives. To leave everything that they have ever known behind them. Leaving Mexico in search for a new life in the United States, the problem is, how are they going to get to the United States without being caught or deported back by boarder patrol. A mothers love, what she sacrifices, as she shields her son from harm. A wonderful and very extraordinary read. I have a feeling this book will become a classic. As it speaks of our day and age times, of immigrants, and what they have to endure to try to become free.

I gave this book 5/5 star review. #readingwithcasey #booklifewithcasey #readingaddict #loveagreatbook #advancereadercopy #americandirt #bookworm
