![]() ![]() One abuse scene did bother me enough that I hit the fast forward 30 seconds button to bypass it, I just couldn't do it. This book is dark and has trigger warnings for child abuse (graphic and dark). The buildup is outstanding, I was not able to put it down, and it’s just a magnificent, psycho thriller at its best. There are so many parallels between them, I'm surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this in book reviews. We have the parallels between Rebecca and Verity, Maxim and Jeremy, and the unnamed young wife in Rebecca and Lowen. I really wonder if the author intended it or if it was accidental. ![]() ![]() Not the movie, since there are some marked differences between them. This book really reminds me of Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier. I'm not sorry I did, now I will be reading everything, Colleen Hoover. But eventually (it was inevitable) I succumbed to the pressures of dark thriller booktok and picked it up. This is my first Colleen Hoover book and I hesitated for a while before picking this up. ![]()
