This is my new favorite Colleen Hoover book. The whole story was incredible and heartbreaking. Even the author’s note at the beginning of the book made this story more emotional for the fact that the confessions were real.
The prologue with Auburn and Adam crushed me. What a way to start a book!
I loved that Owen created art out of confessions, and I enjoyed the fact that the book included actual visuals of what his work looked like.
Auburn and Owen were great together and had chemistry from the beginning. The fact that they both had secrets and terrible things that they had gone through made them work together really well. I also felt for them because their stories were so tragic.
I despised Lydia and Trey so much. They were terrible to both Auburn and Owen.
The ending really wrapped up the story nicely, but it was also sad.
Overall, this book is beautiful, and I will definitely be reading it again in the future.
