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 :)

Wow, this is the first Colleen Hoover book that I actually kind of really liked. The first is "It Starts With Us" even though I hated "It Ends With Us". I liked the idea of the plot and the challenges of the characters since they are

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 

Spoiler

(as artes no final do livro são simplesmente tudo)

.
 É definitivamente um livro que eu não me importaria de reler mais vezes.
