I think everyone should name cats after themselves, independent of gender. Either way, that was a good move on his part. Or maybe that was his way of making sure he would get back into her life when his time is done. I love that Owen trusted Auburn to watch Owen-cat. I don’t understand how she goes about that. I totally understand Auburn wanting to be closer to her son. But I also kind of hate Auburn for acquiescing to both of them. Also, she was with his brother! Isn’t that just kinda weird? I, too, hate both Trey and Lydia. Does he really think Auburn is going to be happy with him or is he really thinking over time she’ll come around? He’s just gross and I so don’t trust that his feelings are real. I hate Trey even more for that ultimatum.

Ugh I hate Lydia, hate watching her dangle the little boy in front of Auburn like that. *Reminder that this post will contain spoilers * Julie: (Julie’s thoughts are in purple) Lynn:( Lynn’s thoughts are in blue) If you want to keep up with the read along, the rest of the schedule is below. Today we are talking about Chapters 13-18. This was another winner.Chapter Break is doing a Read Along! During the month of February, join us as we read Confess by Colleen Hoover.Įach Saturday in February, we’ll post our thoughts on the current chapters. The ability to create these situations and not make it feel cheesy is the reason I love to read her books. The power and rawness of each story captures me and forces me to think. I feel like I’m struggling to put this review into something fully legible. Their connection and drive on their own was amazing, put them together and it’s dynamite. Auburn was intensely brave and an incredibly strong woman. He’s filled with such longing for his own happy ending and struggling to cope with his own past. Owen is another enigmatic and swoon worthy romantic interest.

Everything feels authentic and honest and I mesmerizingly read this in one sitting because I needed Auburn to have a happy ending at last. There’s such a sense of real life and knowing these characters that make me love this story. I can never imagine how more tragic these stories can get until it happens. I love being taken on a journey with these characters and feeling the intensity of their choices and situations. The way this romance is written in short time period, and yet feels like the best slow burn makes this book. This a back list title of hers I happened to see at a used bookstore and I snatched it so fast and read it even quicker. I can’t think of a book by Colleen Hoover that doesn’t leave me emotionally distraught but also handing out 5 stars like it’s a meteor shower.
