Absolutely! It was a 2.5/5 for me before the bonus chapter. Brought my rating down to a 1/5, and I don’t think I’m giving CoHo another chance. (Not saying she doesn’t deserve her large following. I just don’t enjoy her writing.)

Oh yeah I definitely regret wasting my time reading it lol

I read it before the bonus came out too. I think I just found a link somewhere here on Reddit, in fact. But in a few sentences: >!they’re a “happy family”. They go to the beach. They see one of Verity’s old friends. She’s suspicious. Jeremy kills her.!<

Disclaimer: This is the only Colleen Hoover book I read. Not a fan of the author, but I did finish the book. To me it was good until it wasn’t (discovery of the letter. From then on it was just bad. The bonus chapter made it even worse). I’m leaning towards manuscript, too. It didn’t make sense to me that Verity wouldn’t (couldn’t?) mention the manuscript to Jeremy especially after everything their family had been through.
