Confession #1: I really didn’t know what to expect when I was reading this book. I didn’t bother to read the blurb since all I knew this was a Colleen Hoover book and it must be read. Colleen Hoover is just an instant one-click for me… there is no ifs, ands, or buts.

Confession #2: I really don’t think this would be a considered a confession but I absolutely LOVED CONFESS. Owen Mason Gentry stole my heart <3

Confession #3: I was bawli ...more

I purposely avoided all reviews and discussion groups for Confess so that I could fully enjoy what I knew would be perfection. I was not disappointed and am so grateful I went into this book with open eyes and an open heart. Colleen Hoover has once again knocked it out of the park with a story of two souls destined to be together.

I found myself suddenly Auburn's biggest cheerleader and supporter. I found myself wanting to know who Owen was and what made him into the man his is. I found myself r ...more

This is new for me.
I have never written a review for a Colleen Hoover book just after finishing it.
I've only ever written one review for a Colleen Hoover book period.
Even though I've read them all. (Sad, but true. It's intimidating, though.)
But this book... I just knew exactly what I wanted to say about it when I finished it.
It didn't require a second read or deep thought and consideration.
It is simply this:

I loved her writing.
I think Colleen could write an instruction manual, and it would still This is new for me.

It is simply this:

I loved her writing.
I think Colleen could write an instruction manual, and it would still speak to my heart with the meaning and emotion behind her words. She's brilliant in this aspect, and her talent continues to shine within the pages of Confess.

I loved her use of figurative language.
I'm a sucker for it, and it seems to flow from her fingertips like blood from the imaginary wound I gave Lydia after Auburn cut that b*tch in my personal, amended version of the book. (I'm not actually a violent person, I swear. It's just a simile.)

I loved that I couldn't guess everything that was going to happen.
One of my husband's biggest complaints about romance (as if he actually reads it and knows) is that it's "so d*mn predictable". It's really hard to tell a NEW story. Because, for the most part, the story you pick has already been told over and over again. Successful writing is about HOW you tell the story. The language you use, the emotions you elicit. Ms. Hoover took an artist/gallery worker romance - which has undoubtedly been told before - and made it deep, daedal, and distinguishable. There were twists and turns, and each character held secrets and surprises you didn't see coming. (Except for Lydia. It was no mystery that she was an evil b*tch. I hated her from the prologue.) She put these two characters, who were impossibly perfect for each other, in impossible situations, while you (the reader) hung on to every word with hope that there was still a sliver of possibility that they might get their HEA. Did this book wreck me? No. Did I shed a million tears? No. Did I shed any tears? No. Did I love it regardless? Absolutely.

I loved that the ending (or was it the beginning?) was absolutely perfect. ...more
