4.0 out of 5 starsThis is not for the faint hearted.
Reviewed in Australia on 25 August 2021
Having heard that Colleen Hoover delivers some very emotional works, when I needed to use the letter V for a book challenge, this one seemed like as good a place as any to start.

Honeslty. I have no words.

In the beggining I was sceptical. Mainly because Colleen used a word that meant an alcoholic beverage to describe someone eyes matching their tie without actually giving the colour. When I read that my hope for her hype plumted.

This isn't a romance, and when I realised it wasn't, my expectation changed.

When that happened, I was able to sink myself in this book. My emotions ran high. There were times I was disgusted in what had happened, there were moments I swooned, and moments I had to put my kindle down. Time when I thought I knew exactly how it would end.

I will neither confirm or deny my suspicions, though I wasn't entirely off the mark. That in itself shows that reading Colleen Hoover was worth it. That this book was worth taking the time for.

2.0 out of 5 starsSoft core porn mystery written like a teen drama
Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2022
TRIGGER WARNING: Child Abuse and the Neurodiverse community (particularly late-diagnosis)
Please research thoroughly before reading

SPOILER FREE REVIEW FOR THOSE HAVING DOUBTS

I yielded to the hype. I heard "pace, thriller, insane twists" and I thought it was true - I wont listen to the masses again.
I am the wrong audience for this book in many ways. Romance is not my bag; I also took at face value the 'thriller and 'mystery' tags and I shouldn't have.
Even removing those personal preferences from my review - this is still 'meh' at best.

The storyline had enough pace but the plot felt seriously underdeveloped and the writing quality was very Y.A except for the scenes where she talks you though a seeming unrelenting amount of bl*wjobs and while I fine with reading about sex when it works in to the story line - I guess i'm self-aware enough to not be turned on by trauma-bond sex.
I didn't realise I was reading the (exposition only) twist because I spent the entire novel waiting for the author to get to the bit where ..... *twist ending* happened.

I guess I was expecting more depth- somewhere, anywhere! Or at least for things to not to be so obvious. To me this is soft core porn, mystery written like a teen drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will mess with your head in the best possible way!
Reviewed in Australia on 22 January 2020

This was my first ever Colleen Hoover book and I was told by a friend I simply HAD to read it. So I picked it up and started, and within the very first page, I wondered what that actual farrrrk I had got myself into!

This book messed with my head. It kept me flipping the pages faster than I could read the words! It kept me guessing until the very end and I found the hairs on my arm standing on end beside goosebumps for most of the book. This book is incredible, a book I’ve highly recommend friends read long before I’ve even finished it. A book those friends are WTF’ing just like I was. A book that will go down as one of the best books I’ve EVER read.

5 stars doesn’t do it justice, and nor does this review!

5.0 out of 5 stars Part romance, part psychological thriller - wickedly good. Will blow your mind!
Reviewed in Australia on 23 December 2018
Verified Purchase
This book was amazing! It marks a departure from Colleen Hoover’s usual genre of an emotional love story. It is unexpectedly part romance, part psychological thriller. Verity Crawford, a successful novelist, has been seriously injured in a car accident but the seriousness of her injuries have been kept secret from the public. Her husband, Jeremy Crawford, insists that struggling author Lowen Ashleigh write the remaining books in a successful series that Verity is unable to complete. Lowen is on the precipice of emotional and financial ruin. Her mother has recently died after a long illness and she has no projects in the pipeline, so this offer is life changing. Lowen visits the Crawford home to begin work on the novels and quickly is drawn into their world which has been more recently marred by tragedy. She discovers a hidden and unfinished autobiography of Verity’s - something never intended to see the light of day. The existence and shocking contents of the manuscript she keeps hidden from Jeremy not wanting to contribute further to his grief and also because she’s developed feelings for Jeremy. She realises that if ever Jeremy did read Verity’s autobiography there would be no way that he would ever be able to love her...

5.0 out of 5 stars Cross those genres
Reviewed in Australia on 16 December 2018
Verified Purchase
Why did the author cross her genres? To get to the other side of course! That was so cheesy... nothing like this book! I am a "guess the ending" kind of reader... each twist and each turn I get wild haired ideas of what might happen. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm not. For the record I was WAAAY off on this ending and I'm so glad!

I won't give away anything that happens in the book other than to say I don't know what to believe anymore, take that as you will.

Colleen Hoover, your venture into the darkness has been amazing, I'm not sure if I should be thrilled or scared for you. What it does confirm is that you are far from mediocre, and I will most definitely read your shopping list on toilet paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars What did I just read?
Reviewed in Australia on 16 February 2019
Verified Purchase
Wow! Just wow! What did I just read? I cannot believe this is a Colleen Hoover book but I did really love the whole thriller which kept you on the edge of your seat. If you think this book is your usual Colleen Hoover love story, think again. Definitely an Adults Only read due to sexual contents and there were times I had to look away from my Kindle to absorb some of the freakish, scary scenes which involved children but overall a brilliant book that will want you reading more. I am not going to go into the whole story plot because I think it is better to go into this book blind and enjoy the rollercoaster ride.

I’m not ashamed to admit I read this in one sitting! I love how it’s written and how you read it and build opinions on the characters and know what’s coming to only have it all turned upside down. I like how it kept me on my toes and has me still thinking about “ok, so who is the crazy one?” even now a day after reading it! It’s definitely not for the faint hearted and it’s not your typical romance novel but i give it a 10/10!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING! truly such a good read.
Reviewed in Australia on 12 September 2021
Verified Purchase
When I first started reading it I didn’t know what to expect, but this book surpassed any and all expectations. Thoughts I had about the story line whilst reading, trying to guess what happens next, It kept me on the edge of my seat and so invested that I couldn’t put it down. I have never read something like it and it makes me sad that I have finished it, because now I’ll never get the same excitement and suspense of reading it the first time again. Definitely worth it. I TRULEY RECOMMEND GIVING IT A READ YOU WONT REGRET IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best binge read
Reviewed in Australia on 7 June 2022
Verified Purchase
It took about 60 pages in for me to be completely devoured by this novel. The characters that contain so much depth to them, the story line and plot twists, the back and fourth from manuscript to present day. I am unable to sleep after binge reading this in a day, I have so many questions, I cried a few times, I feel a knot in my stomach and my head dizzy. I've never had an author affect me like Colleen has and I commend her talent.

I couldn’t physically put this book down. Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t read fast enough; like you’re simultaneously both wanting the book to last a long time, but also you can’t get the information quick enough? Yep. This book right here.

Mystery plus thriller plus romance equals a fantastic read, and I loved that at the end... You. Still. Couldn’t. Be. Sure. Well done! Highly recommended.
