Reviews with content warning for Rape - Confess

Reviews tagging 'Rape'

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.

The ending made the discomfort and frustration felt during the majority of this book a little more palatable. If you want to be

Spoiler

p*ssed off at a POS cop abusing his power and grow tired of a bitchy MIL withholding a child from their birth mother, look no further. The scenes depicting the sexual violence are not graphic but are triggering for sure.

if you want more of an emotional (have tissues on hand) romance arc with less gore and suspense than Verity, this may be for you! Also, rest assured that nothing happens to the cat :)

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.
