Book Club: "Verity" by Colleen Hoover

"Verity" is being adapted into a movie starring Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway, and Josh Hartnett - let's read and discuss the book by Colleen Hoover before the movie comes out! There are currently several copies available at the library so it should be easy to get.

The meeting location is TBD, but will be in the Burlingame/San Mateo area. We'll decide after the May meeting!

Everyone will be waitlisted initially. Priority will be given to previous attendees of the book club and regular members of the group. For details on attendance & waitlist, please see the "About us" description for the group.

Book Summary - "Verity" by Colleen Hoover
Publication Year: 2018
Page Count: 336

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 what really happened the day her daughter died.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would 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 to love her.
