Verity by Colleen Hoover

I read this book a few years ago, on the most beautiful beach in Mo'orea, an island in the South Pacific. I even took a picture of the book on my lounge chair, so I would have a visual to include when I reviewed it. And I thought I did review it, but now I find no evidence that I ever wrote about it. Did I forget? Did I remember it wrong? What happened? Mystery, confusion and suspense are all at play in Colleen Hoover's book "Verity." Lowen Ashleigh takes the lead as a writer burdened with financial problems. As she struggles to make ends meet, she jumps at the chance to take a ghostwriting position for a famous author. Verity Crawford's husband Jeremy hires Lowen to complete the remaining books in his wife's series. His wife, it turns out, is injured and not able to complete the series on her own. Once inside the house, Lowen sees that the job is not as straightforward as it once seemed. The couple's daughter has died under mysterious circumstance. And then Lowen finds Verity's unfinished autobiography, which leads to more unanswered questions. Was she supposed to find the manuscript or not? And will it help her with her ghostwriting assignment or hinder it? Lowen must try to complete Verity's books, but at the same time try to figure out who in the house she can trust and who she cannot. She then finds herself falling for the most unlikely love interest: Verity's husband, Jeremy. If this sounds like a movie plot, you guessed correctly. Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson will star in the film version to be released in October 2026. Quick! Read it before the plot is revealed on the big screen. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
