I enjoyed this. It was a little boring at first and they were Some plot twists that I didn’t see it coming. I liked the Auburn as a main character Owen was OK at first he was really weird to me but he got better and the secret wasn’t that big of a deal and I kind of saw it coming. There’s some more serious contact in this so trigger warning for sexual assault, emotional abuse, physical abuse, addiction, and some other things. I really like the artwork included in this. That was a good touch and I do wish we got a little more confessions because those are really interesting.

Read this book if you're looking for: forbidden love, strong family values, dual POV, found family, heartbreaking choices, and beautiful artwork 😉

•

This book was beautiful. I would definitely classify it as a must read if you are trying to work your way through Colleen Hoover’s books. The storyline was similar to ‘Reminders of Him’ (no spoilers I promise) with love that isn’t supposed to happen and the found family trope but I also was really intrigued by the confessions in this book! I won’t say too much because I really recommend reading it but it was a very exciting read! The way CoHo writes really makes you feel for the main character(s) and root for them to get that happy ending they deserve. 

•

I rated this book 4.5 stars because while it was REALLY good. I still think a few of her other books were exceptional and I wanna keep that 5 star spot for a knock my socks off kinda read! 📖
