Interestingly this novel lacked Hoover's captivating writing style but was actually a more likeable story than many of her other books.

absolutely adored this. i think this is one of colleen's more underrated books but i thought it was great. it was an easy breezy read for a sunday afternoon and i recommend this to anyone who finds themselves enjoying colleen hoover novels. the inclusion of real confessions from real people made this even better.

OMG!
Que buena sorpresa terminar el libro.
Confieso que.... jajaja si, confieso que luego de quedarme sin alma con ese prólogo un tanto fuerte la historia se volvió un poco floja, pero a medida que avanzaba y conocer cada una de las confesiones y la relación con el arte para mi fue de lo mejor.
Aunque en ese particular sentí que me quedó debiendo un tanto se lo perdono por la confesión final que whaaaaat?

I have a love-hate relationship with CoHo's books. They are the best thing to listen while at work but every time I finish one, I say never again... And yet go back to one more...
Confess follows another "love" story, with the POVs of the male and female character changing in every chapter, which I really like and find interesting at books. The storyline is good, until it becomes a bit creepy when you come to an end and realise when and how it began.
The characters are building nicely, and I really like Owen, until I find his actions and the backstory of him and Auburn more weird than anything. I like Auburn at the beginning but then, I just want to scream at her and realise that most of CoHo's female characters are weak and just depend on the male character to defend and rescue them.
Finishing this book, I was left at the middle. Not knowing if I liked the book, or just wanted to light a fire and dance around it.
Overall I gave it a 3 because at no point, even when I was so bored with the cliché storytelling, I couldn't DNF it. I wanted to reach to the end and find out how their story started.
