Confess by Colleen Hoover
4.0
3.8/5⭐️
❝When I'm with you, I think of all the great things I could be if I were without you.❞
—Page 39
❝It’s not a confession if no one reads it. It’s just an unshared secret.❞
—Page 69
❝Selflessness. It should be the basis of every relationship. If a person truly cares about you, they'll get more pleasure from the way they make you feel, rather than the way you make them feel.❞
—Page 271

Confess is about Auburn Reed who is desperately looking for a second job to collect as much money as she can to get back something that important to her. Fate makes its own way to make Auburn stop at a building with a sign says CONFESS. There is a lot of scrap paper in the window that turns out to be a confession from people. When the door opens, she meets this attractive man, Owen Gentry—the artist who owned the building that gives her a job with good pays. When she comes in, she doesn't know that her life wouldn't be the same anymore.
Auburn and Owen attract to each other, but the secrets in their past make a huge distance between them. All they need to do to make it works between themselves is to confess all their secrets to each other. But, can Auburn and Owen stake their past for a future together? Can they both accept each other confessions?
Surely, CoHo did a good job by making this story. When I read it, I already guess how the storyline will turn out, but I was wrong! The more I read it, the more I discover different storylines, let alone a shocking confession that slowly reveals. The story is quite good, but unfortunately, I can't completely feel the sparks or even the pain in my heart.
What I love the most about this book is the paintings of Owen that based on people's confessions. It's such a great idea. And the ending! OMG—Owen Mason Gentry—surely a kind person, just like Auburn Mason Reed! They're lovely!
