Ok I know I picked up a Colleen Hoover book. I've read so many books of hers but still I didn't know what to expect from it. Anytime I read her books it's at my own risk. But out of all the Colleen Hoover books I've read, 'Heart Bones' is probably my favourite one.
With this author it's really hard to predict how the book is going to end and sometimes there aren't plot twists until the very end. Which changes your thoughts on the characters and the overall dynamic of the book. Which is what happened in this book.
I loved all the characters. And the storyline was so well thought out, you can easily tell. The way everything is linked is so satisfying and when you finally find out things that were not said at the start things start to make sense.
The main characters Beyah and Samson,

if that's his real name

are both immensely troubled. But they find peace with each other because they see themselves in each other. There story is beautiful and definitely not conventional when it comes to finding love. But it works for them.
There were times that I wanted to cry for Beyah because of how much she had gone through but she still managed to be functional and think of other people without drowning in their own grief. And for Samson. His character development was really good. I think he had a lot of demons from his past that he found hard to overcome. Beyah saw this too.
It would be a Colleen Hoover book without some really heavy trauma and with some shocking plot twists. But atleas this ending will make you smile.

I wasn't fully in love with the main characters. They seemed a little too juvenile for me. The book had some tragic moments in them that were surprising, but honestly not my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I don't think I really felt the full connection the book was trying to project.

Colleen Hoover writing an almost non-toxic male lead? Someone call the BBC. Heavy on that 'almost' though. A good book. It had very cute, summery romance vibes, and if I had to guess I'd definitely say this would be a good beach read. Maybe I should've saved this one for the summer.
