Verity

 

The book we shall be reviewing today is 'Verity' by Colleen Hoover. It is a thriller that will leave you spellbound. 


Colleen Hoover is a Young adult fiction author who made her debut with the slammed series in January 2012. Verity is somewhat different from her usual works but just as fascinating to read, if not more. 





The plot unfolds from two points of view: Lowen and Verity being the narrators. Lowen, a struggling author, is offered a job that could turn the tables around for her just when she is on the verge of going broke. She starts falling for her new boss,  knowing fully well that he is off-limits. While Lowen stays in the house, she discovers secrets of the family that shock her to the core. Will she be able to survive after everything she learns? What did she find that horrified her?


"No one is likeable from the inside out." is a quote from the book that tells us that nobody is perfect. You cannot like a person absolutely without liking their flaws too. 


“It’s natural, to assume the worst in people, even if that assumption is only for a split second.” is an extract from the book that describes to us that a human mind is a dark place. We immediately jump to the worst possible conclusion before evaluating the situation first.


“The things lurking around inside the mind can be just as dangerous as tangible threats.” is a quote from the book that illustrates to us that, more often than not, the monsters in our heads are what make us do things that we might not even be willing to do. Things as such this can lead to severe consequences. 


If you love thrillers or a fan of books like Rebecca, gone girl or the silent patient, this is your pick.
