Ok so I loved this book, but not a 5 star love.
The plot twist was really good. I was not expecting what was written in the letter. But I feel like there could have been more added to the story?? Like we don’t know what Verity was actually like, so that’s kind of left me feeling a bit disappointed. It didn’t leave me thinking “what the hell have I just read?”, but there were moments where I was a bit spooked, especially at the beginning because I honestly had no idea what I was going into. I hadn’t seen any spoilers or anything, so I had no idea what to expect. It kind of felt like one of those movies where you know what’s happening/going to happen, but you’re still a bit spooked/shocked when it does.
I was super mad when reading the manuscript😂 like how could someone do that? But then it got to end with the letter, and now I don’t really know what to believe.
Overall, the book has left me a bit disappointed. I was expecting to come away from it with so many thoughts and “what the fucks”, but I haven’t.
I don’t usually like to compare books, but I enjoyed Local Woman Missing MUCH more than Verity.
