Delineating Verity by Colleen Hoover

     On the brink of financial ruin, Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer, accepts a job opportunity of a lifetime. Hired by Jeremy Crawford, husband of the best-selling author Verity Crawford, to complete the sequels of the book series Verity is unable to complete due to injury.

STORYLINE DEVELOPMENT

Moving into Jeremy's house, Lowen finds years of records of outlines of the series. Searching into the piles of papers she finds an incomplete manuscript, an autobiography of Verity. With the intention of not letting anyone read or even know about the manuscript, it was kept hidden.

Filled with fierce admissions of Verity about her detestation towards her own daughter, and courses of 

events to murder her own daughter. Lowen, scared that the manuscript will be leaked to Jeremy, stows away the autobiography each time after reading.

Lowen, in the middle of the manuscript, suspects that Verity is not injured and acting up, tries to maintain a distance from Verity. Entering into a physical relationship with her husband, Lowen is now scared about being killed just like Jeremy's daughter.

CLIMAX

The book Verity produces frustration in the reader's mind and brings page-tearing rage each time the page is turned over. The climax of the book is astounding and surprises the reader with two major clash points: ' Is Verity innocent?' and 'No, she killed her daughter!!'  These clash points gave a contradictory ending to the book which makes the reader draw their own theories. 


COMMENTARY 

This was one of my personal favorites book of all time. The setting up of the characters is amazing, and the story is virtuous. Filled with rage, Colleen doesn't let the reader think about anything else but the storyline.  Verity definitely has one of the greatest climaxes ever to come into existence.
