Summary of Verity

Verity by Colleen Hoover is a page-turning psychological thriller that blurs the line between truth and deception. Written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author responsible for “Too Late” and “It Ends With Us,” this novel delves into a world where secrets and lies weave an intricate web.

At the heart of the story is Lowen Ashleigh, an aspiring writer whose financial struggles have brought her to the brink of ruin. An extraordinary opportunity emerges when Jeremy Crawford, the husband of renowned author Verity Crawford, presents her with a life-altering proposition. Verity, incapacitated by an injury, is unable to complete the remaining volumes of her immensely popular series. In a twist of fate, Lowen is tasked with finalizing the series using Verity’s notes and outlines.

As Lowen steps into the mysterious confines of the Crawford residence, she immerses herself in the task at hand, hoping to uncover enough creative material to start her work. Yet, what she discovers amidst the disorder is beyond her wildest imagination—a partially written autobiography hidden from the world. These concealed pages contain chilling confessions, including Verity’s harrowing retelling of a fateful night that forever reshaped her family’s trajectory.

Caught in a moral dilemma, Lowen debates whether to shield Jeremy from the shocking contents of the manuscript. She realizes that revealing the truth could further devastate the grieving husband. Amidst her growing feelings for Jeremy, Lowen envisions the myriad possibilities that could unfold. She contemplates the potential consequences of exposing Jeremy to his wife’s unfiltered words. After all, even the strongest love might not endure the impact of such a monstrous truth—a truth that has the power to irreversibly transform Jeremy’s feelings for Verity.
