Colleen has had me on a binge ever since reading Verity. However, I do read a bit of everything as you'll see by this list. Any books on my list are worth reading, wouldn't recommend anything not worth your time or coin.

Let me just say that the movie did not do this beautiful book any justice. Stick to the book if you want the whole story. Lots of detail, heart wrenching but beautiful. 1000/10

Oldie but a goodie. If you've seen the movie, read the book and if you haven't seen the movie read the book first! Never disappoints.

I read this AFTER watching the show and it was a bit of a let down. HOWEVER, the book is still good. I think Elizabeth Moss just created something amazing with the show. The book ends after S1 for reference.

Definitely a different pov with this book. It creeped me out the right amount. It is a bit of a slow read in certain areas, but it's hard to put down. A good read I must say.

Spoiler: I loved that this perfectly shows that women are so capable. I kind of wish she would have followed her freedom and selfishness she had just figured out. Regardless, it was a great ending.
