Truth. There was also no way for her to have known there was a fishing net below that would drown Harper. Another thing is, if Verity truly wanted to escape with Crew why didn't she do it before, if she was sneaky enough and brave enough to walk around the house at night and lock doors why not grab Crew and leave. I feel like it does quite the opposite. Her romance novels are bestsellers, but she is also well-known for her thriller, Verity, which was recently released in a hardcover version. A small twist in the end meant for us to think that Verity is not guilty, but it does not convince me. The author jokingly stated that she might as well go and write a psychological thriller since Amazon seems to lowkey demand it. Plus Verity knew that Lowen put the baby monitor in her room in which low saw her digging around in the floor where she hid th. I think Verity being innocent makes for a darker story. In this new chapter, more things were revealed about Verity's husband, Jeremy, who is now romantically involved with Lowen. She screams and although Jeremy doesnt totally believe her, he starts locking Veritys door from the outside. Instead, he believed it. Verity is about a struggling writer named Lowen Ashleigh, who is offered the opportunity of a lifetime the chance to complete a series by bestselling author Verity Crawford, who is injured from a car accident and in a vegetative state. Now that youve read The Last Thing He Told Me, lets talk about the ending, During the coming days that turn into weeks Lowen juggles a flirtation with Jeremy with reading chapters of Veritys manuscript, which are presented in full. Our book critics help you find new authors or genres to dive into. When Lowen forces Jeremy to read this chapter, he loses it and confronts Verity, who reveals that shes not brain-damaged, after all. You dont confess to the things she wrote about without making it utterly clear that its fake. What country does the name Travis come from. [I believe the ending was a hoax, Verity knew she was going to die and that eventually Jeremy would kill her (do you blame him?! ) Why didn't lowen just ask Amanda if the manuscript was fictional? Genetically modified to despise raspberries and have a weird obsession over Sprite and a boyband. Here's my evidence: i thought about this for a long time and ig im team letter.Lowen wanted to "be" like verity to write like her,but in order to do that,she read the manuscript but if manuscript was written from prospective of "The Villain" verity,as she said in the letter so that means this whole time Lowen was trying to be like the Villain not the true verity and in my opinion this whole love or obsession Lowen has over jeremy it's because she tried too much to be like the Villain and she just got lost the process.that's the real reason she wanted to kill verity.and honestly i can't find any reason for verity to do all of this to her kids because we know nothing about her past and i don't think you wake up one day and become a psycho.but Jeremy and Lowen at least had some reasons to be crazy and try to kill someone.i think Jeremy just wanted to blame someone for her daughter's death cause that makes it easier to get along with the pain of grief. yes verity was an amazing thriller author but you could tell in the letter lowen found how scared and rushed she sounded to write and try to make "Jeffrey" believe she didn't do anything she said, verity knew lowen was reading the manuscript, Lowen told her too her face what she knew and told her too her face she was going to be with Jeffrey. [When I read the final chapter it made sense to me. Lowen believes the manuscript to be an accurate depiction of Verity's life, and concludes that it "was written by a very disturbed woman -- a woman whose house I currently inhabit." I do think she couldve done that writing exercise, I dont think it was that far fetched. So I wanted to know what you all think is the truth? I honestly believe thay Verity is a manipulative character from the beginning to the end of the story, I mean like if the manuscripts were just an exercise how can we explain the cut on Chastin's face?? These attacks on cities also meant . Fortunately, the Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) can help reduce some OOP . I honestly dont know what to believe in this case. Guys i know this isnt the case.. but imagine if Jeremy told lowen the story of he and veritys relationship, and then lowen wrote the manuscripts in her sleep without knowing because she was insane or something. This story is part of a series for people who have already read the book and want to think more deeply about the ending. Why would you write when lowen and Jeremy got together? Besides, I really cant understand how a mother who, allegedly, loves her children very much, could be able to write such horrible things about them. Shes also not overly upset. There are some similarities except, of course, that Rebecca was dead, from the beginning of the story. wdym it didnt get to lowen tho? There were so many better ways this could have ended and I was expecting something much more sinister. There was also the issue of needing money to run and wanting to take Crew with her. [Lowen, Jeremy and Verity are all murderers: full stop. Just they way she acted around Verity. ( I personally dont think she got the chance to write it afterwards because of the baby monitor Lowen had placed). She destroys the letter and vows to hide the truth from Jeremy. However, Lowen didnt expect it to be that horrific. she knew no matter who found the letter it would destroy them, and the regret would eat them alive. The letter makes me question a lot though. Interesting, but if she was not faking her brain injuries, then how could Verity write the letter to Jeremy at the end of the book?

I'd very much like to hear from anyone who can tell me if this is a romance. right and also in her manuscript she mentioned the bite marks on the headboard which were in fact there. i think manuscript is real one. Verity pretended to be comatose to buy herself time before she was able to run away in the middle of the night with the couple's son. Sounds like a good way to get yourself imprisoned or killed. No one could create such horrendous stories about their own DECEASED children. Either way, I think it makes sense. [There are a couple reasons I don't believe the letter at the end from Verity - I think it's just another way to manipulate those around her. I found it unbelievable. Truth; consonance of a statement, proposition or other thing to fact. I think that was the moment she panicked and wrote the letter that night. But still, thats so stupid. He says repeatedly that he only read her first book because he didn't like being in her head/that her writing frightened him. There would have been a proper introduction if it was intended as a tool for writers. I dont trust Verity and I think the manuscript was real/true but there are still some missing pieces. Verity had just lost Chasin and yet was somehow this careless? I think she wrote the letter fully intending for Lowen to find it and not Jeremy. The Bookworm Shelf, The Liebster Award Take 2 The Bookworm Shelf, The Folklore Book Tag The Bookworm Shelf. I also saw someone mention the scar on Chastin's face, which also makes me believe she tried to abort the twins herself. Personally, I am team manuscript. Would that happen again with this one? Verity (alias Veretie, Verety, Verita, Veritie, etc.) The book definitely delivers on thrills. Apparently he thought that the best thing to do was to bite a knife and hurt himself. Verity by Colleen Hoover is a romance/thriller/mystery novel that was published in 2018. But when she accidentally survived, what is the purpose of not recovering? . since Jeremey suspected her as the killer of their daughter, how would he let her be in the same house and still care for her. Her editor introduced her to a technique called antagonistic journaling, which would help her get in the mind of evil characters by writing journal entries about her own life, but making the inner dialogue opposite what she had really experienced. Or why would Verity give him the knife the first time? (Clearly, shes not.). She also says that Jeremys son, Crew had been careless with the new baby. Its then when she comes across Veritys autobiography. But then, if she hated the kids, why plan to run away with Crew? And the fact that Jeremy actually killed her doesnt help either Im just very very VERY confused , I dont know Jeremy completely creeped me out. Clearly, Verity is an unreliable narrator. So that conversation must have happened. It stood on its own much better without the ending. In my mind, the manuscript was the truth 100%! Lily Tener is a sophomore majoring in integrative neuroscience. The doctors would have taken her scans at the beginning, but what happened is she got better and she was able to hid. The way he lusted after Lowen with his apparently comatose wife only a few rooms away Uggghhh!! [I think in the heat of it all most people forgot all the other details trickled throughout the entire book. Pronunciation of Verity. Theres no way that wouldve gone unnoticed by police or paramedics. Manuscript is definitely real. . I didnt Like how jeremy and lowen killed verity. At that time, he tried to kill Verity. Even if your kid processes things differently and you chose to show your love for them differently, why not talk about it with the father? I will deliver. But, I do have many doubts about what happened. The scar down Chastin's face was used as a mere coincidence to make it look real. i feel like the manuscript was the real version of the truth. The only thing about the letter I believe is that Jeremy tried to kill her the first time after finding it. Further proof that it was just a journal was the absolutely poor way she wrote the transition from her hating both twins to loving Chastain, it didn't need to make sense the less sense it made the more evil. In her handwriting she acknowledges that the driving part was her idea that he needed to use to frame her death. Verity does just that. But to print it out how could you want something like that about someone you love so very much to exist physically? ( Lowen noticed if Veritys stare changed this shows is she noticed the small detail and really there was no need for verity to do such a big and dramatic action in order to get Lowens attention) i think Verity knew she was being watched through the monitor and she wanted Lowen to read that letter. She creates this story where she gets everything she wants and saves the day. The moment I read that it was a writing exercise What??? Imagine being a good person, a good mother. Also, if the verity <dev> is encrypted the <fec_dev> should be too. By taking a closer look at all of the characters actions, it is revealed that the letter must be true since their choices support its explanation. Let me know in the comments! When Lowen saw her on the floor through the baby monitor, she was probably hiding the letter - hinting to Lowen or hoping she/the cops would find it. This may sound dumb but why did verity write the manuscript? The biggest debate at the end of the book is whether the contents of the manuscript, or the letter that Lowen, the protagonist, finds are true. no mother would ever be able to even think about the terrible things she wrote about her children. Then, he planted it for Lowen to be able to easily find it, thereby poisoning her view of Verity and gaining her sympathy, making her a vital part of Team Jeremy. There is zero indication that he has that in his character. I though the end was Verity dying and while I was satisfied with that, I knew it would happen. I also just stared at the wall and went straight to this conversation to see what everybody is thinking! I think she does deserve the benefit of the doubt (even if everything is as suspicious as it is). [I think Verity was telling the truth that the manuscript was a writing exercise and Harpers death was an accident. [Being a parent who lost a child and as well as a writer myself, I really balk at the idea of any loving parent writing such horrific things related to their children, even just as an outlet or a writing exercise - especially just days after the terrifying death of a child. Verity first came out in December of 2018. Thats a lot to take in, but the pace of the novel only quickens. My DAUGHTER? 3. Do not even get me started on it. anyways, you can never understand the mind of a writer. This would mean that she did show a preference towards Chastin and didnt pay much attention to Harper. . I think the manuscrpt shows the true verity. But it was inexplicable. I think the manuscript was true. Colleen Hoover is the most popular romance author in the world right now. [Something that really sticks out to me is the fact that Crew says (something along these lines, don't have the book, can't quote it) "Mommy told me not to tell you anything if you asked questions about her." [Essentially, I think the manuscript is her true mental state. It is also of English origin, . I havent, but Ill make sure to check it out! . I really hope you guys enjoy them and hopefully find some books that you might like to read next! Okay, I also think the manuscript is real and I don't know if it's just because that's an easier pill to swallow, however my reasoning is, Sleepwalking into Verity's bed was beyond strange. In her handwriting she acknowledges that the driving part was her. Just possibly another twist to this book??? He deleted the digital copy (thinking it was the only one) so that there would be no motive to tie back to him attempting to murder her. Also, if she was truly innocent, wouldn't she make CERTAIN that Jeremey found/read the letter instead of "I hope you find this" If she was truly innocent and the manuscript was fake, then you'd think she'd purposely find a way to give the letter to Jeremy directly, etc. If I was able to even write it just an exercise, I would feel so absolutely sick about it I would not be able to keep any evidence of it. It sounded more like something a real person would write. Does that ring a bell? Really? Is Jeremy a sweet loving victim or is he a manipulative wife killer? And the way Crew acts and how she only told him to hold his breath. Variations. She had to wait for the right moment, faking her condition for the sake of self-preservation and escaping with Crew. 1. And this regret was killing her from the inside, maybe when she used to see Jeremy and Lowen together she realized they would have a beautiful life that Verity envisioned for herself and as we know she was selfish, hence she decided to play the victim and wrote the letter so that they would spend each day filled with guilt. And only a manipulative person would brush it off as just such.. Besides the magnificent cover, weve been blessed with a synopsis of the book: Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. He already knew what she did to his sister. Lowen begins working in her luxurious office, sorting through the mounts of papers, notes, files. None of this can be explained unless what she wrote in the manuscript was true. He felt scared when Lowen started asking him so many questions about his mom because he knew that she was faking everything. When she did his rage took over and he finished what he started. Delivered to your inbox! Also, who could write about THEIR OWN CHILDREN like that without it being true. HE selected her to write the last books for his wife (who he may have incapacitated, or so he thought). She measures her intimacy with Jeremy in the amount of sex they have. I know they said it can be common for twins (scarring tissue) but her version really sticks out in my head the abortion attempt with the hanger. The early chapters focus on Veritys pregnancy, which she attempted to abort with a hanger, and a deep hatred for the twin daughters Jeremy loved more than his wife. Don't be surprised if none of them want the spotl One goose, two geese. she was rushed, she was a manipulative wife, and a terrible mother. Now why would Verity lie. Tell her the truth, ask for help. Theyve read the novel and are amazed that Hoover would be able to suggest a writer could use this idea without Hoover herself being fearful of bringing some bad juju that could bring harm on her real children. I've been down the rabbit hole on both sides, but no has brought this up on either side. Maybe she was just trynna get it off her chest but surely no one as smart as she was would write that kinda stuff down! . 2nd we have the fact that Verity said to Crew that he should hold his breath the minute the boat was flipping, I dont think that anyone wouldve had such fast reflex.

Verity reveals an alternative narrative in her letter. VERILY, VERITY. She becomes jealous of her own baby. She started writing the book based on past events but did in fact swing the narrator's POV to be more villainous as she normally writes her narrator to be?
