Auburn was 15 when the love of her life died of a terminal illness. Now nearly 6 years later, she’s left her home and family in Portland and moved to Dallas. She hates her job (and isn’t much good at it), she knows few people, and she’s desperate to make ends meet. But she knows what she wants and is determined to get it.
When she sees a sign outside an art gallery advertising a job, she’s intrigued. And when she meets Owen, the artist, she’s even more intrigued. He paints pictures based on people’s anonymous confessions that they leave at the gallery door. Some are scandalous, some are sensual, and some are sad.
Auburn and Owen feel an intense, almost all-consuming attraction to one another. Both have secrets, particularly Owen, and the secrets he is hiding threaten any chance of a future with Auburn. But if he confesses, it could destroy everything Auburn wants most in the world.
Few people do all-consuming, heartbreaking insta-love as well as Colleen Hoover. This book was sad and had lots of twists and turns, many of which I wasn’t expecting, and I was totally hooked. It’s been a while since I’ve read one of her romance books and I’d forgotten how they stir up my emotions.
What’s interesting about a number of Hoover’s books is how young the characters actually are, but there’s no intense relationship quite like those when we’re young. Confess was definitely a love story with characters to root for. I love CoHo!!
