Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night her family was forever altered.
Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents could devastate the already grieving father. 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 loving her.

I honestly do not know where to start. Or how. This novel left me feeling spent, as if I've not slept for 36 hours.
Have I not read It Ends with Us, I would assume Colleen Hoover is a freaking fantastic thriller/dark romance author. But either way, yes, yes, yes, she's freaking fantastic.
The story itself is dark, disturbing and very engaging. It's hard to stop reading. You just want to go on and on and on until the very last page. And then you will go “WTF!?” And then you feel like you can't stop thinking about the novel. It will take some time for you to digest the story, to digest the characters, to even fathom the truth. That is, if it is the truth after all.
If you feel like going down that dark, twisted road, pick this one up.
Couldn't put this down. A highly addictive, page turning read.
Verity is a famous author who's rendered immobile and unresponsive after a car crash.
Jeremy, her husband, enlists the help of Lowen, a struggling author, to finish his wife's mega famous book series.
What unfolds next as Lowen moves into the family home is compulsive reading!!!!
I loved this book from the very first chapter. It was definitely a different format from most thrillers, which I thoroughly appreciate! It was haunting and disturbing and totally kept me on the edge of my seat.
But then...(spoilers)
THERE WAS NO TWIST, or rather it came too late. The bad person is exactly who they portrayed the whole book and the ending left you feeling no different than you would have without the letter. The letter itself was such a bore to read and frankly didn't change anybody's mind. Good book but bad ending.
