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.

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.
