{"post":{"id":327,"title":"The Verity movie press tour is everywhere — book first or movie first?","body":"Okay I need someone to settle this. The press tour with Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett is all over my feed this week and now I want to see the movie, but everyone says the Colleen Hoover book has a twist you cannot un-see. I have never read the book. Do I read it first so the twists hit, or go in fresh so the movie can surprise me? Genuinely torn.","community":"TV","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":254,"name":"Read the book first, the twist is the whole point.","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-29T18:12:08.812Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/327","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":254,"name":"Read the book first, the twist is the whole point.","body":"I made this mistake with another Hoover adaptation — watched first, and the ending landed like nothing. Verity is a thriller, and the book's final chapter is the part everyone argues about online. If you see the movie first you will never get that experience. The book is a fast read, like one weekend. Read it, argue about the ending, then go enjoy the press-tour movie with your theory locked in.","score":3,"rank_score":3,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-29T18:17:31.455Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
