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.

Could this be my new favorite CoHo book? Very much so. OMG (those who read it will understand lol), I could not put it down, I don’t think I ever felt so angry at fictional characters as I did with some from “Confession”, and loved others with the same intensity. This book is amazing. I can’t stop thinking about it, guess I’ll have to watch the series now.

This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, I went from smiling to crying. Despite being part of the 'insta love' trope the book develops in to so much more than that and the connection between the characters is so believable. The book moves so quickly and I love that we get to see Auburn's and Owen's POV's as we really get to get in to the characters feelings and emotions. It's my first COHO book and I can't wait to read more from her. A truly amazing and heart wrenching book would definitely recommend but please read trigger warnings before hand.

I WILL RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TILL THE DAY I DIE! I don't know how the hell Colleen does it but she put me through the 5 stages of grief the WHOLE book. You will be rooting for the characters the whole time and it really makes you feel everything that they're feeling. It saddens me that this book isn't talked about enough because in my opinion it truly is one of her best. There are little things to take into thought before reading this like teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and physical abuse but besides that its amazing [as i've been repeating this whole review] And for anyone thinking about reading this and wanting to know if its a happy or sad end just know it has a happy ending but it will still leave you in tears, and I say that as I am writing this sobbing lol. Lastly, for those of you who like a little spoiler here is probably the best quote from the book...

Spoiler

"She's like a light, unwittingly brightening up the darkest corners of a man's soul."
