Verity is based on Colleen Hoover‘s best-selling novel of the same name.
In the 2018 romantic thriller, struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh is hired by Jeremy Crawford to finish the popular book series created by his famous author wife Verity Crawford after an accident leaves Verity unable to finish the project.
Lowen moves into the Crawfords’ home and begins going through Verity’s trove of notes on the books. But during this process, she finds Verity’s unfinished autobiography containing shocking confessions. After initially deciding not to reveal the manuscript to Jeremy, Lowen has second thoughts once she forms feelings for him.
So far, it looks like the movie stays pretty close to the book.
“Upon arrival at the lavish Crawford estate, Lowen slowly learns that things are not exactly as they seem with the discovery of a secret, unfinished manuscript that may divulge chilling admissions about the family’s past,” the movie’s logline, obtained by Variety, reads. “As Lowen ingratiates herself with Jeremy and his young son Crew, she must discern if Verity’s writings are merely lurid works of fiction or an ominous warning by a deranged psychopath.”
