Wow, this is the first Colleen Hoover book that I actually kind of really liked. The first is "It Starts With Us" even though I hated "It Ends With Us". I liked the idea of the plot and the challenges of the characters since they are

The book had a full circle moment from prologue to the end and it was great. All my questions I had about the characters and storyline were answered in the last chapter. This was a fast pace quick read but was good. I thought the concept of paintings inspired by people's confessions was really interesting!

First Coleen Hoover novel I've read and I now understand her popularity. I enjoyed this book so much I actually wish it was a bit longer so some parts could be explored or expanded further. The confession inspired art was a cool idea and I liked the inclusion of the art images in the book too. I thought Owen and Emory were great, I love their individual dorkiness and found them interesting. The main character I didn't have such a connection with, she was boring and weak and so the strength she finds at the very end doesn't work for me. I really liked how the ending explained the connection, very sweet.
