Verity:
Thoughts on the ending?

Also, choking could cause brain damage to lead to Harper being diagnosed with Aspergers, right? And I would have to think with identical twins with the same dna that if it were a condition they were born with they’d both have it... but not so with only Harper being diagnosed and only Harper getting choked as a baby.
Why pretend to be comatose unless you’re a manipulative bitch? If Jeremy actually set up the accident, wouldn’t you want to recover? And keep writing your book series? And leave the crazy man that “tried to kill you” ASAP and turn him in? You’re the one with the money girlfriend. But I guess if you’re obsessed with Jeremy then you’d think he’d wait on you hand and foot if you were comatose.
And wait, how do you hit a tree on the passenger side and then move the injured person to the drivers seat and walk away? Like the passenger seat would’ve taken all the damage? Anndd, if Jeremy knew she was playing him, why the heck would he have kept her in his house and cared for her? And hired nurses? He could’ve easily kept her at a facility if she was truly comatose, as insurance and doctors usually recommend that...
It doesn’t sound like he knew she wasn’t brain dead and like torturing her or giving her comatose pills at midnight... (why would you hire nurses and invite a writer to live in your home if you were torturing your wife?) (also, I would have to think a steady supply of the supposed comatose pills would be hard to come by without a prescription?). and she was able to lock lowen and Jeremy in the bedroom after her midnight pills.. right?
Unless he knew she was faking her condition. The only proof of the extent of her injury we know is from Jeremy saying that he saw the scans.
The manuscript seems planted though. And I can’t figure out whyVerity would’ve planted it. She knew about Jeremy hiring someone to finish her books and she “couldn’t find it”, according to the letter. So say she did put it in the drawer. What benefit would that be to her? Would she think that a writer would read it and side with her? After painting Jeremy as the victim of your villainess?
And so what if Jeremy planted the manuscript? If the letter was true, couldn't Jeremy have changed the manuscript to say it’s true and an autobiography? And not a practice journal? But if he had changed the manuscript, how would verify have know he changed it to say it was true and not a practice journal? And she wouldn’t have known if he added the end sentence about hitting the tree if he had added it... which she clearly knew about.
Though if the letter was true, why hide it in the floorboard? She hid it because she didn’t want it to be found right away by the wrong person and shredded. If she wanted lowen to read it, or police or whatever to clear her name, why not slip it under lowens door? Or in the desk drawer.... but if it was to Jeremy, why so much backstory? And why do you still love him if he tried to kill you twice before and you assumed he’d try again and succeed (hence the letter). Why not call your agent and clear your name and accuse your husband of attempted murder?
