[Victoria]

Gah, mine is still in the mail but the snow storm probably is delaying it

[❤ Aly ❤]

Wow the prologue is intense!!!

[❤ Aly ❤]

54% (view spoiler)[Wow. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book.. I'm enjoying them though. Didn't see Auburn being a mother though.. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Finished. Loved it so much! This actually was the first book I read by this author.

[❤ Aly ❤]

(view spoiler)[Wow! The last chapter was cool with how everything connected. I knew that Owen had a connection to the painting in the apartment but I had no idea it was because it was one of his paintings. Everything clicked at the end for me. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I totally didn't see Auburn having a child either.. At least she is always going to have a connection to Adam. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

[Eesh]

Very sad and intense prologue...

[Eesh]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[I really like the confessions things and I'm curious about how he knows her. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Bit intsa-lovey but okay. I like Owen.
Lydia, on the other hand, is a major bitch! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[Another person who's a majoy bitch, Auburn. I hate how she's treating him. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

End of part 1
(view spoiler)[Didn't expect Owen dad to be an addict. At all. No wonder Owen's messed up. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[Really don't like Auburn. Miss denial has become pathetic. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[ It's good that she's come round. Still don't like her. I mean, she was defending him for almost raping her! Wrong wrong wrong! (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

Just starting this

[Stormy]

Chapter 8 really enjoying this book up to now need to start reading now as my battery is about to go dead

[Stormy]

On chapter 12 now on the way this story is written just wants me to keep on reading more so many twists and Turns

[Karen]

Up to chapter 7. Cute, but not in a sickening way. Curious to see what Owen is hiding.

[Karen]

Up to chapter 12. Going to have to finish this-desperate to see how it ends up.

[Karen]

Up to chapter 15. Wish there was some way of letting Auburn know how much of a jerk her brother-in-law is. Really hope Owen's father doesn't let his son continue this self-destruction.

[Stormy]

Just this minute finish this book and what can I say it was a great read I was a bit hesitant to read this book after reading never never and absolutely hate in the ending to it but I wanted to give this one a go and I am absolutely happy I did this was a great story and I love the ending

[Karen]

Up to chapter 19. Got a very bad feeling. Almost don't want to read on!

[Karen]

Omg indeed! Beautiful. The twists and turns were absorbing, and the final revelation was just what was needed. My first Colleen Hoover novel-looking for further recommendations based on this experience.

This one is great if you want to read it

[Sharon]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[ I wonder how Owen knows Auburn!!! It's bugging me a lot!! I thought it was sweet when they talk, and how they say each other's name. I hope that Trey does not fall in love with her. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ This is so good!! She has a son?! Why doesn't he have custody of her own child?! I think Lydia could have let AJ stay with her. It would have been nice to see more of AJ & Auburn. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[ OMG!!! The drugs were his father's, and he took the blame for him. That's why he doesn't want to talk to his father. Also, I really hate Lydia and Trey. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ Wow...amazing read. I love how she got custody of AJ. I was very impressed with her methods. I loved the reaction Trey had when he found out she recorded their convo and is blackmailing him. Priceless! My absolute favourite part was when Owen relieved how he knew her. I loved the Adam confession. It was better than what I had imagined. (hide spoiler)]

[kashish]

Chapter 1
Wow, I don't even want to believe those confessions are real..
And the last line makes me want to cry!!

[Eesh]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[Emory is so strange and awesome. And Auburn and Owen are so cute (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Lydia is well and truly earning the title of BITCH. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

End of Part 1
(view spoiler)[Fucking Trey. Can't he back off? (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[It would have been cheating if Trey hadn't been blackmailing Auburn into being with him. Though it seems that the night will have dire repercussions. (hide spoiler)]

[kashish]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ Gosh, I HATE Lydia. (hide spoiler)]

[kashish]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[ So, Owen's clearly not an addict. But he's charged for possession. Owen knows Auburn from his past, but she clearly doesn't. God, the suspense is killing me! (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

I'll be a little late, but joining! I'll be reading from an audiobook

Sure :)

[kashish]

The End

(view spoiler)[
*puts the fist on the chest*
I wouldn't have guessed THAT connection. I'm so glad Owen didn't tell that to Auburn. Some secrets aren't meant for confessing afterall. And God, the feels!!!


I'd have really appreciated an epilogue, though :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

13% (view spoiler)[So intrigued! I can't remember how he knows her, but I absolutely love the idea of these confessions inspiring paintings, and her points about wanting to be anonymous when buying!

'And it appears as though she's afraid I'll alter her canvas if she allows me too close'. HER QUOTES ARE SO GOOOD (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

31% - (view spoiler)[I was expecting a nice cheesy romance, but my god, I wasn't expecting to love it!!

I loved everything about Auburn and Owens meeting and their first day together.

But why was Owen arrested for possession? And why did he stop contacting her? 3 weeks! It better not be for 'oh I'm protecting her by not being around' reasons.

Also who's Lydia???

I'm feeling so many emotions right now. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[How does he know her???? I need answers haha! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Halfway through a chapter but had to do another update!

38% - (view spoiler)[I'm not usually a romance fan but Maddie pushing me to reading this books has made me realise maybe I like them more than I'd like to admit..

The story and characters have got me instantly hooked and I need them to be a couple asap!

I loved the bit before the book that said the confessions in this book are real, which is even more startling because there are some crazy awful confessions in this book. Also, the artwork in the ebook copy is beautiful!!

I wonder if Trey warned Owen off from Auburn and he was probably the one who arrested him? But why? Does he like Auburn? Is he still protective of her because of her relationship with his brother?

I NEED ANSWERS

And what was Owen thinking letting Auburn cut his hair while she was drunk anyway? Your own fault bro.

(hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Warning: excessive use of the F word in the below update.

60% - (view spoiler)[Noooooooooooo things were going so great. They were getting on so well and I love them together and then we have the 'distance between the the two lovers' trope. ARGGHHHH

I hate Lydia and Trey. They are the fucking worst. The absolute worst.



How dare they. I hate that Auburn felt she had to give Lydia custody of her son, and then Lydia is doing all she can to stop Auburn from seeing him. Fuck that woman. Then in comes Trey. This guy! This fucking guy is like yooo how about you date me and I'll get you access to your son. No dude. What makes you think that in any circumstances that Auburn is gonna want to date her dead boyfriend's brother. You, my friend, are a fucking idiot.

I hate the whole he's a cop so he thinks he can mess around with her life like that. TAKE YOUR TOXIC MASCULINITY AWAY SIR, IT IS NOT NEEDED HERE! Even if Owen has an addiction, he's still a way better person than those two fucking shit people. I'm sure there's a good reason why he was arrested for possession. I just know it. (hide spoiler)]

None of her books are cheesy romance. They're all like this (apart from maybe her Slammed trilogy..)

Lydia is Adam and Trevor's mum.

And yes I can't remember why either, I need to remember!
