Verity — Book to Movie Brunch Discussion

Join us for our October meeting of Books to Screen: Women’s Brunch Club, a women-only brunch book club in Scottsdale focused on books that have been adapted for film or TV.
Our October selection is Verity by Colleen Hoover, the bestselling psychological thriller that has captivated millions of readers with its shocking twists, unreliable narration, and morally complex characters. The story follows struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, who is hired to complete the remaining books in bestselling author Verity Crawford’s series—only to uncover a disturbing manuscript that blurs the line between truth and fiction.

The timing couldn't be better: the highly anticipated film adaptation, starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 2, 2026. By the time we meet on October 24, we'll have the perfect opportunity to compare the novel with its brand-new screen adaptation while it's still one of the most talked-about movies of the season.

Our discussion will explore the novel's unforgettable twists, unreliable storytelling, ethical dilemmas, and the questions that have divided readers since the book's release. Did the film capture the suspense and psychological tension of the novel? Did it change your interpretation of the ending? Which version told the story more effectively?
Whether you're discovering Verity for the first time or rereading it before seeing the movie, we hope you'll join us on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for a suspense-filled brunch conversation that is sure to keep everyone debating long after the meeting ends.
