Okay okay, I think this is my favorite CoHo book. I love Auburn, I love her story and I love Owen, especially them together. I hate Trey! What a disgusting character. There are so many aspects of this book that took me by surprise. A beautiful story with twists, heartbreak, anger, so many emotions. I’ve never come across a book that is like this. It’s so cool that Colleen used real confessions from readers and she had an artist create Owen’s paintings. Those two aspects made the book feel more real and interesting. I really really really love this book!

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

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 :)
