Colleen Hoover wrote a THRILLER & it is WILD-(ly incoherent) 

I feel she didn't need to write a horror, all her books are already horrific enough

You missed the bonus epilogue where Jeremy randomly murders the woman they met at the grocery store in the middle of the book

the ending to this book is the equivalent of setting up dominoes in a line for 3 hours, pushing the first one, and witnessing the rest of them fall in opposite directions

the fact that she used someone getting run over as the romantic setting for the mcs‘s first meeting is actually so unhinged

“let’s read Verity by Colon Hoober… together” no thanks I’ll pass

Shawn's contribution to society is unmatched

5 stars for shock value and 0 for literally everything else

Lowen : Wow, Verity was a psycho ! Also Lowen : *sees a guy's skull explode onto her shirt and is only mildly annoyed*

she damn well knows even her most die hard fans would've been pissed if there wasn't an excruciating amount of smut

ever since i’ve heard that verity is a bad porn version of “Rebecca”… it’s not even that i cant unsee its exactly what it IS

Colon Hoober. Writer, mother, human, and a menace to society💋 (Human part is questionable)

I can't believe you are finally reading Jane Austen

In 2022, I fell victim to booktok and purchased this book… it was like driving past a car crash, truly god awful yet I couldn’t look away. I had no idea who CoHo was (I was chronically offline back then) and I was going crazy because this book only had 5 star reviews and everyone was telling me to read her other books (spoiler: they were even WORSE). Moral of the story: don’t trust booktok and now I read the first few pages on google books before purchasing or just go to my local library. Save your money!!

the only like horror/thriller/crime novel I've ever read with graphic descriptions of sex was American psycho and it was used to make the reader uncomfortable as it would go straight from s3x to violence and its very disorientating and obviously intentional and to like add s3x into a thriller for like... actually arousing people is just wild

dude he looks like he’s genuinely about to cry 😭😭😭

Shawn mccomb upload on a wednesday afternoon..this is too much for me. I feel like a nursing home resident getting an extra cup of jello.

Step 1: Pretend to be in a comma. Step 2: ?? Step 3: Profit.

I can't stop imagining Shawn editing his videos and searching for "top 10 largest fart noises" and then downloading all of them.

I’ve watched so many videos about Colleen Hoovers bad books as background noise and even after all of those I can’t figure out why she writes the way she does. But I guess she won cause it made her a millionaire 😭

YOU NEED TO PUT UR OLD VIDEOS BACK UP i quote them all the time and would enjoy a rewatch FROM TIME TO TIME!!!!!! 😡😡😡 just a suggestion tho bae love ya xx

this bee movie erotica to colleen hoover pipeline is unmatched🤞

My guy is going through hell for us

My husband knows when I’m watching your videos because the sound effects you use are so unhinged that they could only possibly belong to one person.

so basically it's rebecca by daphne du maurier if it was written on wattpad

yay! our brains have finally both been eaten! i’m not alone anymore! (this book was an experience) I don’t think you know how much joy you bring to my life. i’m really excited for this

genuinely, this book had soo much potential!!! the plot was seemed interesting and could have been incredible but, in the end, she handled it horribly and that wasn't helped by her sub-par writing (and horrible take on how romance works, especially how she just normalizes cheating on ur brain damaged spouse.)

Why did the 'ur slipping' feel like he broke the fourth wall LMAOO

I hope you know how much joy you bring us Shawn. Im just going through a breakup and the two uploads this week is truly healing my soul

every colleen books are lobotomy core

I read this poo in 2021 when I first got into reading English books. I was on the tip of my chair, gasping for air, completely clueless about how ridiculous this book was. I am awake now. Loved your reactions, get well soon

Wait until he reads the epilogue 💀

10:50 the bruh sound effects playing after you explaining the tragic death of these kids is awesome…thank you Shawn.

shawn's room always looks like a mix between a frat boy and a 4 star hotel

Back in 2023 i bought It Ends With Us and Verity for my friend whose a HUGE fan of CoHo… it was in my house for a good 2 weeks before she claimed it. That was my darkest time, alone with CoHo books😨

the fart noises that kept going on for so long i started laughing BADLY😭😭😭

this feels to me like Colleen Hoover read Jane Eyre for the first time and was like “there’s not NEARLY enough fucking in this for me”

shawn is my free therapy and looks like im going *twice* this week. feelin like a ✨mental health king ✨

the caffeine , iron and vitamin c speedbump is the lifeforce of the anemic girlies lmao

We should make him read haunting Adeline

i always wanted to know the twist but never wanted to read it, so thank you for your contribution

The synopsis outsold the book because the general premise is literary just Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier but a shitty poorly written version. and i quote a goodreads comment that Hoober once wrote "I really enjoyed this book. It was so good, I thought about plagiarizing it, but then I thought, "Nah. Better not 😜""

We loveeee the consistency Shawn this is what we need!!!🥳🥳

I just realized that Shawn looks like Sam from Gen V, which is a funny coincidence considering that both are maniac and funny. 🥰🤭

Nah cause I wasn't ready 11:18... The modelling agencies are running to your doorstep right now.

I too was sold on the synopsis. The jump scare scene with verity looking over the balcony/stairs made this book worth it lmaoo

You just standing there, contemplating your existence is all of us after finishing that book

i feel like she keeps sending her ideas to her 6th grade teacher and theyre like awesome colleen great job!!! and she publishes it no other thoughts involved.

5:12 Yesss, finally I found someone that agrees with me! That “hook” was terrifying and her reaction to the accident was so uncanny. I would be sobbing and traumatized, I would need therapy after seeing that, but Ms. Girl went on with her day like nothing happened. That’s when I knew she wasn’t wrapped too tight either.

i need to go cleanse myself with jane austen, and i didn't even read it also it was like 75° yesterday and now its 20°, so these 2 experiences together makes me feel unwell😭

IM SO READY FOR THIS ONE

"you’re slipping" DUDE I felt so called out 😭

the editing always gets me

Found you yesterday and now I'm binge watching your channel while abandoning all of my responsibilities. No regrets tho🤸

I needed this. Really needed this. Just had a very shitty day. There's always one PROF who won't let you be at peace... Thanku Shawn.

i literally found your channel yesterday and this shit is so funny ily 😭

I needed this today! Just had my legs amputated ❤

Shawnnnn this was THE MOST wilddddd read-alonggg evaaaa!!!

What made me so mad about this book is that I think it was genuinely an interesting concept and could’ve been so much better if it was written by a different author

The worst ending I read was a book series that had recently gotten a 3rd and final installment. The second one ended with everyone dying and the third ends (after 500 pages!) with the realization that YES EVERYONE DIED. THE WHOLE BOOK WAS USELESS AND DUMB. It only existed to add a weird relationship and self insert characters who ex-machina the book.

I was literally just rewatching ur old videos this is perfect 🙏🙏

been having the worst cramps all day, ur sacrifice is very appreciated pookie xx

this girl needs to skip the damn meeting and meet with a therapist cuz dayum………

i was scrolling just trying to find something to watch before bed and i got jumpscared by the thumbnail and then the lightbulb in my room went out. i will be sleeping with the lights on for forever now. great vid.

oh she's a bjork fan

Shawn acting like he’d need therapy IF he saw a human get run over by a car like he shouldn’t be in it NOW is me. We’re fine.

At school rn. Had to stifle my excitement when I saw the notification

As a thriller lover and being new in booktok I bought this book last year and oh it's soo damn baad. I still see people saying it's one of her best but it really isn’t. To me it's a book that has a lot of plot twists for the sake of plot twists. So many things are creepy but not in a good thriller type way (I don't know how to explain). I don't know honestly nothing makes sense to me in this book. And I've read some very good thriller in my native language so this book is just 1/5. (Sorry English isn’t my first language so it's not that good)

wait till you hear about the bonus chapter....boy oh boy

I've been waiting for this one.

Your channel literally keeps me sane

I have that game theory youtube plugin and I feel like "I'M SCARED" is the best descriptor of my reaction to this book

Shawn hands: 👍🏻👋🏻✌🏻🤏🏻👌🏻☝🏻🫴🏻✋🏻🖐🏻🖕🏻 me: beautiful 😚🤌🏻

I can’t remember if you’ve read sayaka murata’s books or not but I feel like you’d have a fun time w earthlings 🤭

No cause, if Jeremy strangled Verity, wouldn't ther be hand marks? or at the very least some sort of bruising?

i kick my feet and giggle when you post

I love the lana del rey ride monologue ☺️ slayyy

went from I am enjoying my time to crying within 5 minutes of this video. I am glad for you that the book was finally finished tbh. 🥺

"these characters need our help" LOL

The way I clicked on the video so fast

OMG THIS IS JUST TOO FUNNY GOSH LOVED IT (you, not the book ugh)

the thing is verity could be interesting if idk, verity & her kids are like actually been abused by jeremy but no one believed them since jeremy is so good at putting on the nice guy facade but lowen started to put the pieces together and then help verity & crew escape jeremy (and maybe even make lowen & verity falling in love with each other, since colleen gotta insert some romance no matter what genre it is anyway. and at least it would make a lot more sense too; lowen not only getting to know verity through her works and journals, but also just their interactions together since at some point she also help taking care of verity as well when everyone else is sort of busy and the fondness towards verity just grow naturally for lowen) like just imagine one of the last scenes is them trying to run away from the big creepy mansion while jeremy is practically hunting them down since he figured it out that lowen and verity been working together?!?!? gahh the sapphic thriller perfection it couldve been

Genuinely, thank you. I keep hearing about this book and that it sucks but no one's brave enough to tell me why. God knows I didn't want to read it myself, so thank you for doing it for me. You're doing the korda work here haha!

atp watching shawn's videos is like going to church to me

The fart soundtrack actually is killing me

Your videos have a little not so little piece in my heart

Ahh!! You likely will need to file a workman's comp claim now that you finished another Colleen Hooba book. Shawn we appreciate you explaining these books to us so we aren't injured but please be careful, your life is at risk!

im so glad you didnt get the book with the bonus chapter 💀💀

ok but you're totally serving in the thumbnail

I feel so embarrassed. I didn't know Colleen Hover. I read Veriry because of an instagram recommendation and I freaking loved it. I completely ignored the parts that make no sense. That's ok, we can have our gulty pleasures. But I shared it with a friend who is a book addict saying it was super good. I hope she forgets about OMG.

so satisfied by the amount of videos we’re uploading here, rent is due and i love to see it 😍😍

0:09 i was literally listening to bjork minute before

Shawn you r so funny. Please dont die🥰

watching your videos after studying heals me

LMAO I thought all her books her horror 🧐 guess not-

Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read some of the books by chuck tingle

I have been physically unable to pronounce her name as anything but Colon Hoober for the past year.

19:54 that's exactly how I react to a bad book

I recently found your channel through the bee movie book and I love it!

This is genuinely so fucking funny I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this im watching all of your videos now 😂 I usually put on booktubers as background noise but now I have to pay attention 😂

as someone with a very short attention span, I love your editing style 😂🥰
