1.5

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.
