I Respectfully Disagree.
Shepherd is a community of 12,000+ authors and super readers sharing their favorite books with the world.
This book should be required reading for anyone who plans to die—or knows someone who will.
Gawande pulls no punches about how we’ve turned aging and dying into a medical problem instead of a human experience. We chase every possible treatment, be it for ourselves or (worse) for our loved ones, even when it strips away dignity, joy, and choice.
The book has reframed how I view end-of-life care and made me realize that longevity doesn’t necessarily equate to quality of life. If my parents are in their nineties and want to eat bacon and a milkshake, I’ll hand them the salt shaker and straw myself.
What I love most is how practical it is. Gawande blends research, personal stories, and brutal honesty to show how we can live—and die—on our own terms. It’s compassionate without being sentimental, medical without being sterile.

'BEING MORTAL IS NOT ONLY WISE AND DEEPLY MOVING; IT IS AN ESSENTIAL AND INSIGHTFUL BOOK FOR OUR TIMES' OLIVER SACKS

If Being Mortal makes you think and I Respectfully Disagree makes you grow, Verity will make you lock the door and cancel your plans. I didn’t just read this book—I inhaled it.
This was my second Colleen Hoover book, and I’m glad it wasn’t my first, because Verity sets an impossible bar. It’s twisted, dark, and completely addictive. I didn’t want to put it down, talk to anyone, or do anything until I finished it.
The story drags you into a psychological tug-of-war between truth and manipulation. Hoover builds tension so thick you can’t tell what’s real and what’s not, which makes it even more irresistible.
I read a lot for work and learning, but Verity reminded me that reading can also be a full-body, fun, suspensful experience.
Read it if: you love thrillers, need an escape, or just want a book that reminds you what obsession feels like—in the…
