Thoughts on the ending?

Lowen was judged by her editor Corey, he fell in love with her book characters. Jeremy sought out Lowen as a writer probably feeling the same about Lowen. Lowen became obsessive…. Like Verity. To please Jeremy. To compete with Verity. I feel the ending was a foreshadow that if Lowen stays with Jeremy and Crew, she could become a Verity type.

In the very beginning, after Lowen witnessed the bloody accident. Jeremy found her, took her to a bathroom. That wasn’t just a kind stranger helping. He was scouting/stalking her. They were both so calm together in the bathroom, with Lowen covered in blood. She even acknowledged how people who have experienced death are drawn to each other, like her and Jeremy.

I do feel Lowen’s intentions when she first arrived at house were good. She mentioned Jeremy deserved to know the “truth,” to be happy, deserve better than Verity, and Crew as well. I feel the house and Jeremy contributed to her anxiety and trepidation. Jeremy wasn’t concerned at all of Verity moving or being awake. He was so comfortable, passive about locking Lowen’s door and Verity’s. I thought that was off-putting.

And Crew, is one F’d up boy. Jeremy not giving him help for therapy was strange. Jeremy was very dismissive of any issues with Crew. Jeremy did show he cared for Crew. He showed he cared for Verity by feeding her and bathing her. When Lowen mentioned she was awake, Jeremy told Lowen to leave!!! I thought why would he ask that……

This was a great book, with lots of different thought provoking possibilities.
