Colleen Hoover ’s 2018 thriller Verity returned to the top of the book charts on September 30, 2026, just days before its movie adaptation reaches theaters. The hardcover ranked number two on Amazon’s best selling books chart, while the Audible edition also held the number two spot. The chart comeback follows more than 100 weeks of audiobook chart appearances and arrives after Verity became a number one New York Times best seller and a BookTok favorite. The novel’s film version stars Anne Hathaway , Dakota Johnson , and Josh Hartnett , with the movie scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on October 2. What Is Verity About? Verity centers on Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired by Jeremy Crawford to complete a popular book series. Jeremy’s wife, bestselling author Verity Crawford, is presumed to be comatose after a car accident, leaving Lowen to sort through Verity’s unfinished manuscripts. Inside those pages, Lowen discovers a private autobiography filled with disturbing admissions about the Crawford family and the night their lives changed forever. That unsettling setup, plus the movie’s high profile cast, has clearly sent readers back to Hoover’s controversial page turner. Grand Central Publishing’s 368 page edition is also being sold as a collector’s edition with a new chapter from Hoover and a letter from the author. The listed price was $21.03, marked down 30 percent from $30, while the audiobook was listed at $16.42, down from $18.76, with Audible also offering access through a free trial.
