Verity by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

VERITY by Colleen Hoover is an unparalleled dive into a disturbing and captivating realm of twisted realities and unfathomable secrets. Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer, embarks on an unexpected journey when she takes up the task of completing a bestselling series for the injured author Verity Crawford. Little did she know, delving into Verity's world would lead her to a manuscript revealing chilling autobiographical confessions. Hoover masterfully crafts a story that defies expectations, leaving readers in awe and disarray. The narrative is a rollercoaster of emotions, laden with eerie revelations and a constant sense of foreboding. The characters, enigmatic and flawed, add to the enigma, blurring the line between right and wrong. The story, disturbing and thrilling, challenges perceptions and leaves an indelible mark. The conclusion, a mind-bending twist, shakes the very core, prompting introspection and contemplation. VERITY is not for the faint-hearted, but for those seeking a thought-provoking psychological thriller with a tinge of romance, it's an enthralling, albeit unsettling, choice. Colleen Hoover's departure from her usual style showcases her versatility and storytelling prowess, ensuring a memorable and haunting reading experience.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: Every Note Played

Every Note Played by Lisa Genova My rating: 5 of 5 stars I want to thank NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for granting me an advanced copy of the Every Note Played book by Lisa Genova. Lisa Genova, author of "Still Alice" and "Inside the O'Briens", delivers yet another masterpiece. Every Note Played is a novel which addresses the devastating effect of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on a celebrated pianist and his family. ALS (a.k.a. motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease) causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS loses the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. At 45, Richard is diagnosed with ALS. His career is over and he has no one to turn to for help. Karina, his ex-wife, driven by guilt, becomes his reluctant caretaker. This endeavour is more than she bargains for, and both she and Richard are faced w...
