For Beyah, things have not been going well at all. An unexpected death puts her life on hold and the plans she had set for herself are now doomed. Forced to spend her summer in Texas with her father, Beyah encounters Samson, someone who couldn’t be more different from her. Despite their differences, something unexpected happens and it’s interesting to watch it unfold.
The poverty and hardships that Beyah goes through are often hard to read. There were many times throughout HEART BONES when I didn’t really like the theme of the story. I find that Colleen Hoover often does that on purpose though to capture the reader’s attention. However, I guess I’m not a fan of that.
I struggled with most of HEART BONES because the writing style did not keep my attention. As a result, it took me longer than I would’ve liked to finish it. I don’t know if it’s just Hoover’s writing style or the characters of this novel in particular, but I just didn’t connect with it as much as I had hoped to. Unfortunately, HEART BONES left me wanting more.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us!
Moving, passionate, and unforgettable, Colleen Hoover's novel follows two young adults from completely different backgrounds embarking on a tentative romance, unaware of what the future holds.
After a childhood filled with poverty and neglect, Beyah Grim finally has her hard-earned ticket out of Kentucky with a full ride to Penn State. But two months before she’s finally free to change her life for the better, an unexpected death leaves her homeless and forced to spend the remainder of her summer in Texas with a father she barely knows.
Devastated and anxious for the summer to go by quickly, Beyah has no time or patience for Samson, the wealthy, brooding guy next door. Yet, the connection between them is too intense to ignore. But with their upcoming futures sending them to opposite ends of the country, the two decide to maintain only a casual summer fling. Too bad neither has any idea that a rip current is about to drag both their hearts out to sea.
