Confess

Bewertet mit 4 Sternen

"No one deserves you like I do.” … “No one sees you like I do.” … “No one understand you the way I do.” … “No one makes your heart beat like I do.” … He presses his palm against my heart. “And no one else deserves to be inside you if they can’t get there here first."

Auburn and Owen met when she sees a “Help Wanted” sign and decides to apply. Owen is an artist who paints pictures based on anonymous confessions, he had a bad past and he has secrets. Auburn also had a bad past and every day she sacrifices herself to be close with the only good part that’s left of her past.

I love Colleen Hoover's books for so many reasons but especially for the fact that each story isn't similar to the last book she has gifted her readers. This book isn’t like anything we have read by her and the art work/confession connection was completely BRILLIANT. That being said...

The first half or more of this story is a total 5 PLUS Stars. The prologue was gripping while the way Owen and Auburn meet and his amazing art studio was perfection. The writing was just beautiful.

Sadly, somewhere amidst the crazy brother-in-law's antics, Auburn and Owen's lack of action in so many areas and their fast fall into love (I thought we would have had more scenes of them actually together) the story went a bit downhill for me. I still really enjoyed them and I would have loved more time with this couple.

This book has real artwork incorporated into it that was commissioned especially for Confess. As you read, you'll see these pieces inserted in the story in relevant places. I loved the confessions. I thought that was such a brilliant and unique idea for a story. To base it on real confessions. Things we have that are scary to put out there. I loved the connections between the characters, the sacrifice, and the writing, but I think this is my least favorite Colleen Hoover book.
