Woman Down: A Novel

More about the book

Colleen Hoover's latest novel explores the blurred lines between reality and fiction. After a public backlash against the film adaptation of her book plunges bestselling author Petra Rose into a writing crisis, she struggles to reclaim her normalcy with the help of her colleague Nora. To find inspiration for her next thriller, Petra retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, but her plans take an unexpected turn when a detective named Nathaniel appears, mirroring a character from her novel. His presence ignites a spark in her creativity, and she feels more alive than ever in his company. However, the dangerous game they engage in threatens her very existence. Hoover masterfully weaves contemporary themes such as cancel culture, public backlash, and the quest for authenticity into a gripping romantic thriller. With elements of morally grey characters, forced proximity, forbidden romance, and a strong female lead, this story promises to captivate fans of her previous work.
