Oh my gosh! It’s like taking that first breath of fresh air after being stuck under the blankets for to long! Not only are her characters just beautiful and human but I have not yet been able to see anything coming. From the very beginning I experience the ‘wait…what?’ moments, where events unfold that I didn’t see coming. I love this! I love that for once, finally, I am reading something where I can’t see around the next bend. I can’t even express just how much I love this!
God, this story pulled on my heart. With the concept of random strangers confessions becoming art, its addictive! Reading all these confessions, putting things in prospective. Opening yourself to your own confessions. I’m not sure about anyone else but this book definitely made me think hard about what my confessions would be. I found it very validating. I don’t know how Colleen Hoover comes up with these ideas, but please don’t ever stop!
I felt for Auburn and her struggles she faced in this book, her character had spent years being belittled and bullied by her family. She grew in strength throughout the book with Owen’s support. Be aware I’m trying hard to avoid spoilers here. I want everyone to experience those surprising moments throughout this book. I’ll just say it was really nice to read a female protagonist who was introverted, and not in the shy way of inexperience. But a quiet personality. She had a silent strength that really showed itself toward the end of the book and she was willing to do anything for those she loves.
Owen. I’m pretty sure he just space jumped right to the top of my book boyfriend list. A talented artist that is holding so many secrets, who only has three contacts on his phone.
I spent the beginning of the book loving him, the middle of the book wondering how Colleen could create this amazing character and then put him in these situations that I just couldn’t make sense of, at the time. But true to her work, and again with the ‘wait…what?’ and ‘Ahh‘ moments, it all makes sense when the book begins to wrap up. Then I loved him even harder. Owen is, everything, all at once.

“Selflessness. It should be the basis of every relationship. If a person truly cares about you, they’ll get more pleasure from the way they make you feel, rather than the way you make them feel.”I have such mixed feelings with this one. It’s the first time I haven’t loved a coho book completely. While I did enjoy it there were also a lot of elements I didn’t like.I loved Emory, the roommate I think the scene when she came in and showed Trey that he was a piece of work was my favourite scene.I disliked Trey, although obviously we aren’t meant to like him. Lydia was no better either. I didn’t really feel invested in Owen and Auburns relationship and not sure that I love Owen.I loved Auburn though and think she made a great MCI enjoyed the concept of the confessions especially because they were real confessions from real people but I feel like it ended off quickly? Like I would’ve loved more confessions throughout the book rather than all in the first parts of the book.Overall I did enjoy the book and it was a very easy read like every other coho book :) I read it in 2 days.
