Book Description:

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin. When Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, asks Lowen to complete the remaining books in a contract his permanently injured wife is unable to fulfill, Lowen has no choice but to accept. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home with the intention of only staying one or two nights—long enough to sort through Verity’s chaotic home office to collect all the notes and outlines she’ll need to start writing the first novel. But the more time Lowen spends with Jeremy Crawford, the less of a hurry she is in to leave. While there, Lowen uncovers a hidden manuscript. An autobiography containing chilling admissions Verity planned to take to her grave, including the truth behind the events that turned their lives upside down. A truth that, if revealed to Jeremy, would further devastate the already grieving father. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript a secret, allowing Jeremy to continue to believe Verity is merely an innocent, unfortunate victim of circumstance. But as Lowen’s feelings for the devoted father and husband deepen, she wonders if keeping Jeremy in the dark is in her own best interest. After all, if Jeremy were to read his wife’s autobiography, the disturbing truth would make it impossible for him to continue to love her. A chilling romantic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.

Thoughts:

Wow! This book was incredible and as soon as I finished it I thought to myself, “What did I just read?!” It was extremely captivating and I loved how the characters were described.

The writing style (as usual) blew my mind away. I cannot figure out how CoHo is able to write a novel within a novel and have two stories tied up in one. She is absolutely BRILLIANT in how she writes, and this Romantic Thriller may be my favorite of hers to date.

I still do not know which story I want to believe. I love the written word and find this book such a beautiful display on how an author’s mind is able to work and create. Sometimes you don’t want to believe what you’ve read, and I am sitting here still unsure of which story is true. This would make such a great Book Club Book! The dilemma on who do you love more, your husband or your children, and how far would you go to keep that which you hold closest to you, is so twisted in this novel.

This is dark and twisted, full of suspense, romance, heartbreak and deception. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it!
