Verity
by Colleen Hoover
****SPOILER ALERT****
After having read a classic, Verity came across as an easy read with no difficult words or mind-boggling phrases. Verity is a fast-paced, mystery/thriller/ romance fiction. It is a soul-stirring yet gripping novel. I cannot dissect the novel without the spoilers.
The story revolves around a budding but financially broke writer LOWEN ASHLEIGH. She has been asked to ghost-write for a famous author, VERITY CRAWFORD, who is paralysed/ bedridden after an accident. Verity is married to Jeremy and has twins, Chastin and Harper, and a son Crew.
Lowen decides to move into their house and comes across a manuscript that reads like Verity’s bio. As she reads through the manuscript, she is stunned by the revelations. The exposes are upsetting.
The story was great, so was the built-up. I didn’t understand a few points
· If an author does write an autobiography, why would she ever write horrific details about her plot to kill somebody?
· Even if she was trying to do antagonistic journaling, nobody would write a story with their own names.
· Why didn’t Jeremy tell Lowen that he knew about the manuscript?
· Why did Jeremy take care of Verity if he was the one who caused her car crash?
· Why would Verity lie on the bed for months pretending to be a paralysed patient?
Often what we see, we assume to be true. People take everything at its face value.
I will stand by the assumption that Verity could not have killed someone. I would like to believe that the letter that Lowen digs out of the floor was the real thing.
Though the whole narration is quite riveting, some points are a bit ambiguous. The dictionary meaning of the word Verity is ‘the quality or state of being true or real.’ If that is the title of the book my assumption that verity was telling the truth, in the end, is not incorrect. A mother’s nature is that of a selfless protector of her children who will even sacrifice her own life for theirs, unless verity was mentally unwell, she could never have killed her child.
I would recommend this book to everyone, but it has some heart wrenching events and some graphic scenes, so BEWARE!!
