psychological thriller
Lowen, a down-on-her-luck novelist, is given the lucrative
opportunity to be a co-writer with a best-selling novelist, Verity Crawford,
who has been sidetracked from completing her most recent series due to a car
accident. However, in Verity’s office, Lowen finds an unpublished autobiography which is
disturbing and contains information Verity’s husband should probably hear about
his family.
Colleen Hoover does a great job of pulling you in from page
1 and keeps you in her grip through the novel.
It’s sometimes the kind of novel you read while hiding behind your own
hands because it feels like a car wreck from which you can’t turn away. You
know something ugly is going to be exposed and you’re not sure you want to see
it.
I loved the quick pace. I appreciated this psychological
thriller and was anticipating a completely different ending. The novel’s ending
was better than the one I was fearing, thankfully.
For those who don’t like explicit sex, this is not the novel
for you!
The two narrators were Vanessa Johansson and Amy Landon. I’m assuming Johansson portrayed
Lowen and I think she did a great job with voice acting. Landon’s Verity performance was often
annoying to me. But the character is annoying. So, perhaps she did a great job
after all. The novel did not require a
large voice repertoire from either of them but I wasn’t impressed with either
of their male voices. I’ll give the ensemble an A-.
