I cannot believe that a truly loving mother could picture herself doing something so horrible and actually put it into words. And she almost killed Harper!! When she was a BABY! She insulted them and constantly described how much she hated and resented them. Besides, I really can’t understand how a mother who, allegedly, loves her children very much, could be able to write such horrible things about them. The sole fact that she already wrote such disturbing books makes me doubt whether or not this manuscript was actually just her practicing her evilness. Besides, I think that ‘an uncomfortable distaste’ is a HUGE understatement. I think this is enough to prove that Verity had some kind of mental issue. What you read will taste so bad at times, you’ll want to spit it out, but you’ll swallow these words and they will become part of you, part of your gut, and you will hurt because of them. One should only walk away from an autobiography with, at best, an uncomfortable distastes for its author. But damn… She went above and beyond, didn’t she? I do understand that she decided to continue on with this cause it helped her be a better writer. So apparently, this horrible manuscript in which we got to know how truly horrible Verity actually was… Isn’t real? After reading the letter, we find out that it’s supposed to be an antagonistic journal in which she wrote about her life, but her internal dialogue was sinister and completely different from her. I don’t know what I believe, so let’s talk about some of the major things that went down in this story… The AutobiographyĪLRIGHT ( book reference), let’s start off with the very first and very obvious topic. But, I do have many doubts about what happened. I honestly think that Verity was a horrible human being and that she wasn’t actually writing an antagonistic journal (even though it may sound awfully convincing). I think I’m leaning more towards believing the original story.

For most of the book I thought that it was kind of predictable, I knew what was going on and I thought I knew how it was going to end. This book… I do not know how to cope after reading this.
