Book Review - I have become a homebody 😅

Hey lovelies! I haven’t been out much lately to post any outfits (😢) I’ve been in the house reading and working. So to pass some time, I’ll do book reviews as well. I just finished this book.

📖 Name of the Book: Verity by Colleen Hoover

📄 Plot: HUGE plot twist at the end. Everything isn’t as it seems.

📖 Genre: Suspenseful Romance

💭 My Thoughts: I stopped reading Colleen Hoover for a little bit. I had felt like her books were becoming repetitive and I was lowkey being a hater that everyone was getting hip to one of my personal favorites. However I was in a rush one day and grabbed a book before getting on my flight. This book reminded me of why I became a fan of hers in the first place. There was a HUGE plot twist at the end. I can definitely see myself reading this book again, and I don’t typically read books more than once.

⭐ Star Rating: 10/10 would recommend!!!!!! Ms. Hoover NEVER disappoints!
