Reviews with content warning for Pregnancy - Confess

The storyline packed in twists and turns alongside making me feel every emotion. I felt tense through quite a large portion of the book and at times, I directed that mistrust and suspense at the wrong characters. I think that’s one reason I loved this book as you didn’t know who to trust especially the first half of the book. The art included in Confess was breathtaking and so beautiful and powerful. I think it is also worth mentioning how incredible and moving it is that all the confessions mentioned in this book were submitted by real people. With the art, confessions and plot combined, this is a clever, moving book.

Owen really won my heart and that last chapter?! My heart shattered all because it was so heartbreaking but so beautiful and touching all at the same time! I don’t think I connected completely with Auburn but I enjoyed her journey of becoming this strong, young woman and standing up for herself.

This was a fast paced book (which I love) but at times, it’s felt too fast paced, so I didn’t get the full experience of some scenes. I think this may be why I didn’t connect with Auburn as much as I wanted to (as well as one of her actions in particular despite my feelings about Trey).

Finished this book in about 4 hours. Wasn’t bad but it wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t really connect with the characters/romance and at times it was very cliche. One plot line in this book even gave me the ick. (if you read this book you will know what part I’m talking about)

I did really appreciate the confession part of it. I know that all confessions in this book were real, and written by real people and somehow that gave me comfort. Even though some of the confessions were horrible, somehow someone had the courage to write that and release that secret into the world.

This book was so, so good. It pulled at my heart strings and made me feel so much for the main characters, especially Auburn. I wasn't bored a moment of listening to this, and needed to know what was happening as soon as possible. It was hard to put down.

I will say though, that as someone who has been in a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship before, it was triggering at parts. It wasn’t very graphic, but the abusive character (i won’t say the name bc spoilers) was written SO realistically, it made me feel genuinely sick at a couple points. I really did feel Auburn’s helplessness.

If you’re looking for a sad romance with a good ending, this is it.
