Confess A Novel Colleen Hoover 9781476791456 Books

It is a given for me to read anything that has Colleen Hoover's name on it. Because I know that I am going to read it I don't read the synopsis and I don't read reviews. The less I know about the book the better my enjoyment of it always is. Confess was no exception and I went in blind. Hoover's writing for me is like slipping on your cosiest pyjama's, finding that spot on the couch that molds to you and that much needed glass of wine after a hard day at work all wrapped into one.

OMG...

Reading the prologue just about killed me. I could tell that I was in for an emotionally charged story and I was more than up for it. Then when I felt the intensity between Auburn and Owen when they first met I knew I was in for an amazing few hours. There was no way that anything was getting done in my house.

"I could tell her how I know her. Make her realize why I have this overwhelming urge to protect her. But some secrets I'll take to my grave."

I've said it before but Hoover has a way of capturing the emotions and chemistry between characters that sets her apart from other authors in this genre. In this book I was captivated by the simple act of hands touching. The moment I am talking about happens at Auburn's apartment when Owen is leaving and they are on opposite sides of the door. It was absolutely and undeniably one of the most beautiful and intimate moments I have had the pleasure of reading. The way she takes such a basic act and turns it into something so breathtaking is beyond amazing.

"There are people you meet that you get to know, and then there are people you meet that you already know."

I won't re-tell the story or give anything away but I will say that I loved it. I loved the plot, I loved Auburn and I loved Owen. Colleen Hoover is one of the leading authors of this genre in my opinion and I was not disappointed. Her amazing storytelling filled with humour, chemistry and emotion was as evident in this book as in the rest of them.

Confess A Novel Colleen Hoover 9781476791456 Books Reviews

This is the second book I’ve read by Colleen Hoover and much like November 9, this is an emotionally charged book with twists at every corner.

The main characters Auburn and Owen are two people you connect with from the start. They’re both dealing with traumatic losses from their pasts. For Auburn, it’s the death of her boyfriend, and for Owen, he’s struggling with the death of his mother and brother.

From the start, their budding relationship is plagued by problems. There’s Owen’s relationship with his father, who is dealing with personal problems. Then there’s Trey, a jealous guy who stalks Auburn and Owen, trying everything he can to tear them apart.

You can feel the raw emotions Auburn and Owen go through as they deal with being kept apart, and finding the strength to overcome the obstacles of their past. I loved seeing their growth throughout the novel as they finally gain the courage to stand up for themselves.

As with the other Colleen Hoover book I read, Confess is filled with a few twists that were surprising, and added more intrigue to the novel.

Aside from the story, another nice touch is the beautiful artwork featured in the book; I thought it was fitting since Owen was an art dealer.

After reading this novel, I’ve officially become a member of the Colleen Hoover fan club and can’t wait to read more of her books.
Okay, I love Colleen Hoover. I love most of her books (let's just leave Ugly Love out of this), and she is such an amazing author. So trust me when I tell you, this two-star rating is even shocking me.

The part of the novel I adored was the inclusion of the paintings. They were absolutely beautiful, and made me want to reach out my own hand and touch them - I feel you Auburn!

The beginning is incredibly promising. I was struck by it. I felt very connected to Auburn from the beginning to the end. I also felt very connected to Owen. But, somewhere along the way, and it is ever so subtle, because I didn't even realize it until the end, the story takes some kind of a turn. The "love story" takes a backseat, and a lot of unnecessary drama takes the steering wheel. I kept wanting more time with Auburn and Owen. I wanted to get to know them better. Truth be told, in Hoover's magical ways, with the little time you get with them, you still feel them. You feel them as separate characters, and you feel their connection. But, that dwindles throughout the book, and that left me feeling really empty. It made me feel like I lost something.

I also have to agree with a few other fellow reviewers who said that the ending was not satisfying. It is not because there is a cliffhanger, or that it is terribly upsetting, it is just empty. After going through such a roller coaster, you are left with a moment that is anticlimactic. It is a slow and torturous buildup, and given that you do not have much time with these characters, I wanted the end to give me more than what it gave.

Another thing, how beautiful is it that these confessions are told? I LOVED the idea, but again, it takes up the beginning of the book, maybe more like the first half, and then we lose them. Which is unfortunate. I think if you search in between the lines, you can see that the confessions have taken on various other forms. But I wanted more of what carried me through the first half of the book.

So, here is my take. The story starts out strong, filled with feels, beautiful ideas and paintings. Then, the story transforms into something different, and unfortunately, does not end the way it started. So, I think it is an acquired taste. It's a beautiful story, just not satisfying. So, I wouldn't not-recommend (please bear with my double negative), but I would say read at your own risk.
