Verity - Colleen Hoover
Book 1/30 of my 22 things to do before I turn 23!
Ok, will someone please talk to me about Verity??
This is the first book I've read written by Colleen Hoover and I've just finished it in one sitting. I feel like I need a hot shower, preferably with holy water and a bottle of wine.
This is definitely one of the darkest books I've read in a long time, but is it strange that I throughly enjoyed it? On the flip side I did find the romance concept a little cheesy- I don't really enjoy reading about female characters who conveniently fall upon a handsome, rich man when they're at the lowest points who instantly fall in love.
I've read tonnes of reviews online about the controversial plot twist at the end of the book, but I loved it! But I'd love to know what did you guys think?
If you love novels with suspense, dark themes and page turner then I would highly recommend! I'm definitely interested in reading some more of Hoover's work if you guys have any suggestions?
For those of you that haven't read it, here is the summary:
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verityās notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesnāt expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowenās feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wifeās words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.

The Beginnings of a New Blog
Hey there!
My name is Rosie and Iām a qualified cardiac nurse working in Wales, UK. Welcome to my blog :)
This blog is going to be a mismatch of all the different things that I enjoy including; my work in the medical field, my specialism in cardiology, my studies to become a medical student, my love of literature, travel (now that the world seems to be opening back up again) and my plan to improve my lifestyle and fitness!
Last week I turned the grand old age of 22 and Iāve come up with aĀ ābucket listā of all of the things I would like to achieve by the time I turn 23. So here are my 22 goals:
1. Read 30 books (I love reading but I donāt make enough time to get stuck into my enormousĀ āTo Be Readā list, so this year Iām tackling most of them!)
2. Get a tattoo (This will be my second tattoo but I am planning to get more- I actually have a tattoo booked for in a weeks time!)
3. Donate blood (Iāve already donated blood twice before but Iām definitely going to keep on donating as much as I can)
4. Apply for medical school (A large part of my blog is going to be centred on studying and documenting my journey to get into medical school. Even though I have a career as a qualified nurse, Iāve always wanted to be a doctor but not taking college seriously and below excellent grades which are needed to apply meant that I had to chose a different degree. Luckily many universities in the UK have alternative routes into medicine for students who have already obtained a undergraduate degree).
5. Sit the GAMSAT exam (a key entry requirement for all graduates to sit before they apply for medical school is the dreaded GAMSAT exam. My aim is to sit in 2022 but Iāve got a lot of studying to do in the meantime to prepare myself)
6. Lose 5 stone ( lockdown and the stresses of university and working during the covid pandemic has definitely resulted in me binge eating and using food as a comfort. Iāve joined a gym, started swimming and eating a more balanced diet)
7. Travel abroad alone (even though Iāve been lucky enough to travel to a lot of places, Iāve never plucked up the courage to fly somewhere by myself, this will be the year!)
8. Travel to a new city every month (whether this is abroad or just simply exploring new cities around the UK and closer to home)
9. Start a Tumblr blog ( Tick! )
10. Try 10 different cocktail recipes (I do have a bit of a weak spot for cocktails, I feel as though Iāve tried several but would love to actually make my own!)
11. Try 10 different baking recipes (Something that I used to love doing before I moved out and started university was baking. Shared kitchens at university and lack of funds for ingredients stopped all of that but I would love to start up again. Thereās something so satisfying and calming about baking!)
12. Go to a comedy show (Iāve always wanted to go to a comedy show! The atmosphere seems amazing and itās just been on my list of to-dos for a while now)
13. Book a dentist appointment (I know this one is a little bit gross but itās something I haven't done in a while, I get scared very easily going to the dentist and Iāve been putting it off for ages!)
14. Write 3 medical essays (Is it weird that I actually really enjoyed writing my dissertation?! Well, I did. Itās a goal of mine to eventually have work that is published in medical journals but for now Iām happy just writing for fun and practicing my academic writing)
15. Sort out my wardrobe and give to charity (Iām guilty of buying too many clothes which eventually just end up in the back of my wardrobe, unworn and collecting dust. Last year before I finished university I managed to sort out 3x black bin bags full of clothes and shoes and donate them to charity)
16. Save at least Ā£100 a month ( I know it doesnāt sound a lot but because I rent by myself and Iām paying my car loan, I donāt have a lot of spare money each month)
17. Go to 10 different museums and/or art galleries (one of my favourite pastimes during my days off or when Iām visiting a new city is to explore the local museum and art gallery! Thereās just something so relaxing about walking through all of the exhibitions)
18. Grow my fingernails (I have a horrible habit of biting my fingernails when Iām stressed or anxious. The past year has been particularly bad so Iām going to try and make a bit more of an effort to grow them!)
19. Fit into my size large scrubs (the size I started with when I started University which I now canāt physically get past my thighs! Iād love to be able to fit back into them!)
20. Be able to run 5k (I love the couch to 5k app but Iāve never actually managed to complete it)
21. Go on a hike every month (living in Wales there are plenty of walks/hikes that I haven't managed to explore but Iād love to see a bit more of what Wales has to offer).
22. Buy a new MacBook ( I know this one seems strange but Iāve had my MacBook for 6 years now and Iād love an upgrade! Whenever I save up enough money something always happens like car insurance, MOT that I need to use the money on)
So there it is! My list of 22 things I want to achieve by the time I turn 23. Iāll update you along the way :)
Iām really looking forward to starting this blog and hopefully you guys enjoy the content!
See you soon,
Rosie x
