Books That Are Beautiful Inside Out!

Now we all love books which have pretty covers and add a lot of character to our bookshelves. A lot of times books which have an extremely grand cover, end up more or less disappointing us from their plot or story. But the exceptions? Oh god! They are the definition of perfection! Some of the most pretty books I have seen are simultaneously also the books which have the best storyline and keep me on my toes till the end. Let us see our top 5 picks for the same.

1. Rebecca

Author : Daphne du Maurier

The story set in Monte Carlo begins with our heroine being completely bedazzled by Maxim de Winter who is a widower. His sudden proposal of marriage is also no less of a shock to her. She who lived like a lady maid and was orphaned long ago could not believe her sudden shift in luck.

When she moves into his house, she realises that Maxim’s ex-wife is like a lingering evil. One that wants to destroy their marriage even though she rests in her grave.

3. No True Believers

The book revolves around Salma Bakkioui who lives in a suburban centre with her best friend Mariam and her boyfriend Amir nearby. With passing time, things between them change, Maram and Salma start distancing themselves because Mariam’s family moves away.

5. Verity

Author : Colleen Hoover

[Parental advisory is suggested]

The book revolves around Lowen Ashleigh who is a struggling writer who is going through financial problems. Lowen is met with a 'once in life time job offer' which she hesitantly accepts.

Jeremy Crawford who is the husband of Verity Crawford, a bestselling author is the one who has hired Lowen. He did this because his wife was injured and would not be able to finish writing books, so Jeremy wanted Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series.

When Lowen arrives at Verity, she is prepared to go through all her notes and take up from where she left. As she goes through Verity’s works, she finds or rather reads something no one was meant to. An autobiography which Verity was not able to finish. It had accounts of incidents which could make one’s blood curl, including the incident or the entire detailed entry from her perspective of their world.

What does she do next, does this help Lowen change her decision about helping Verity; what more is left to uncover?
