Like all the other Colleen Hoover books this one did not disappoint and was filled with tragedy and love. I had forgotten how dark these books could be and the stories of Beyah and Samson have is really heartbreaking and makes me so sad. Yet it was beaitiful to see them falling in love and even more so when the truth is revealed of who Samson really is. I loved Sara as she was so selfless and was so trusting to a complete stranger. It was heartwarming to see the father daughter relationship grow even more so when Beyah finally revealed the truth about her mum. I loved the ending and even though this had dark themes to it I found it an enjoyable read.

Colleen Hoover is really good at writing books that are easy to understand that you can move through very quickly. After reading It Ends With Us, I gave Heart Bones and shot and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The plot felt random, the pacing was kind of off and the dialogue felt awkward along with the inner monologue at times. I also didn't enjoy the behavior that’s excused and almost romanticized in the love interest but that seems to be a common theme in Colleen Hoover’s books.
