What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit 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:
Finally I read the much talked about Verity.
This is the type of story that will stay with me for a while.
Verity has been on my TBR list for a while and it did not disappoint. This was my first time reading Colleen Hoover and I assure you that I will be reading more of her work in the future.
Lowen is a writer who is a bit down on her luck, her mother died leaving her in debt, she has issues with sleep walking so of course she needs a break in life. After witnessing an accident on the street on the way to her publishers' and being helped by a kind stranger Jeremy her life takes an unexpected turn.
Jeremy Crawford ends up being the husband of a famous author Verity Crawford who wants to hore Lowen to complete his famous wife's book series.
Verity suffered tremendous loss and was in a tragic accident which left her in a coma. After seizing the opportunity, Lowen agreed to stay in the Crawford's household to research manuscripts and plan her writing. In doing so Lowen makes a startling discovery, Verity's autobiography. As she reads the sordid tale in Verity's autobiography, Lowen realizes that there lies within that family secrets.
What I love about this book is that it held my interest till the very end. As Lowen read Verity's manuscript you could have felt every feeling and emotion. There were times I was angry, sad and of course horrified. The ending was surprising too. I did not expect the story to end that way.
I am glad I finally read this.
