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.
