Goodreads description:
Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in
sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art
studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the
enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.
For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control,
only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude
of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only
way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.
The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t
seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would
have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the
confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…
This book was amazing and without a doubt the BEST Colleen
Hoover book that I have read so far (I have also read Maybe Someday, Maybe Not
and Ugly Love) and I loved everything about it.
Everything about this book was perfect. The writing was
captivating and there were a few plot twists that completely threw me. I did
not see them coming at all and I like when a book can shock me like that.
I especially loved the idea of the confessions. That was
such a unique concept and it really worked well with this book, as did the
paintings that were specifically created.
Colleen Hoover is fantastic at writing believable characters
that you just can’t help but love. Auburn was an amazing character. Her situation
was heartbreaking and I couldn’t believe how strong and determined she was,
especially at such a young age. But then again, she was tough because she had
to be.
I also loved the character of Owen. He was basically
perfection in every way and usually I have an issue with characters that are
too perfect but that wasn’t the case here. The way he was written was
believable and it just worked in this book.
I LOVED the romance in this book. Owen and Auburn were so
adorable together and I liked that the relationship between them wasn’t forced.
Auburn still could not fully let go of losing her first love and Owen wasn’t
trying to take his place or make her forget him.
Of course the characters I hated were Lydia and Trey, but
even as evil characters they were so well written. Colleen Hoover writes
deranged creepy evil sinister psychopath really well! So believable. And even
Owen’s father redeemed himself in the end.
The epilogue was perfect. It really did bring everything
together and answered every question that I had. I loved how lines and small
details that you don’t think mean much in the beginning actually do come back
into the story at a later point. Everything was connected and I absolutely
loved that. Especially when we finally learn the truth behind Owen and his
history with Auburn. I lost it at that point. Colleen Hoover is definitely a
master at writing the feels, I was an emotional wreck by the end of this book.
This book NEEDS to be a movie! Ugly Love is already being
made into one, so maybe this one can be next.
Overall, this was a superb YA contemporary romance. I gave it a 6 star rating and I recommend it to everyone!
