Verity
it was amazing
Verity
by Colleen Hoover
If there's one word for this book, it is 'scandalous'. Two words - movie worthy. No surprise there's movie rights in the works. This is one of those books made for a single session; binge-read types. Because it moves ahead non-stop, a so...

by Karen Joy Fowler

Beautiful World, Where Are You
