Okay okay, I think this is my favorite CoHo book. I love Auburn, I love her story and I love Owen, especially them together. I hate Trey! What a disgusting character. There are so many aspects of this book that took me by surprise. A beautiful story with twists, heartbreak, anger, so many emotions. I’ve never come across a book that is like this. It’s so cool that Colleen used real confessions from readers and she had an artist create Owen’s paintings. Those two aspects made the book feel more real and interesting. I really really really love this book!

This was the first collen hoover book I ever read and I hope it will be the last. The only reason I actually finished this is because I was buddy reading it with a friends and she needed to finish this book to reach er yearly reading goal. I hated all the characters and it was so incredibly boring that I sometimes chose to do absolutely nothing over trying to finish this book. I wish the book hadn’t added actual photos of Owen’s art, because then I could’ve at least imagined that he was a good artist. I thought the sex scenes would’ve at least been kinda decently written, since collen hoover is known to have a lot of sex in her books, but even the scenes where both characters gave consent, it seemed like I was reading a non consensual sex scene. I hated this book deeply and it showed me how little i could care about a story.

Eu amo reler livros, ainda mais os da Colleen. Eles sempre me fazem sentir todas as emoções possíveis, mesmo não sendo a primeira vez que leio.

 Confesse me faz sentir um misto de ódio, tristeza e um pouco de amor/carinho. Basicamente, sofrimento, como todos da CoHo. Acho importante dizer o quanto esse livro me inspira 

(as artes no final do livro são simplesmente tudo)

.
 É definitivamente um livro que eu não me importaria de reler mais vezes.

This book was such a great romance novel. I fell in love with Owen, Auburn and Adam and the way fate brought them all together in the way they needed in the right moment. I loved how the writer kept details of their lives away from us until the end too. It wasn’t as predictable as a lot of other romance novels.
