CONFESS was released right when I was packing to move
across the
country. Needless to say, my husband was constantly
yelling at me to stop
reading! Obviously he has never read a Colleen Hoover
novel because
everyone knows once you start there is no way to stop. I
devour her
stories and everyone of them has crushed my heart and left
me crying.
CONFESS does not disappoint. Colleen Hoover, you owe me a
box of
tissues!
CONFESS is about confessions. I was mesmerized by the
concept of this
book from the start. The dedication begins with, "the
confessions you read
within this novel are true confessions, submitted
anonymously by readers."
That completely intrigued me and had me flipping the pages
to get to the
confessions! Auburn Reed has had an average life and you
can definitely
say things haven't gone according to plan. However, Auburn
is one of the
most resilient characters I have ever read and she isn't
going down without
a fight. She is walking home one night in desperate need
of a job when she
stumbles across Owen Gentry, an artist looking for an
assistant for his
show.
Owen like most artists is eccentric and all over the
place, but when he sees
Auburn his life comes into focus. This isn't a case of
insta-love, it more
about things lining up. He can see the life he wants to
have, the life he
deserves to have. However, he is also keeping a secret and
it could destroy
any chances he could ever have with Auburn. My emotions
were all over
the place where Owen is concerned. I loved him then hated
him and then
just wanted to slap him while screaming at the book "just
tell her already"!
Once I started reading CONESS I discovered that there's
even more to
this story than meets the eye. There's an added layer to
it that I absolutely
loved but that I won't mention because discovering it as
you read is
honestly the best. One of the things I love most about
Colleen Hoover's
writing is how deeply she makes me care for her characters
and how
strongly she makes me feel for them. Deception and pain,
love and loss,
secrets and truths, hope and redemption—they all twist and
tangle together
creating another unforgettable novel from one of the
freshest and most
trusted voices in romance.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies. At age twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important to her. In her fight to rebuild her shattered life, she has her goals in sight and there is no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry. For once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it. To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.
