poatry 's review for:

Confess by Colleen Hoover
4.0

Auburn, twenty-something years old, walks into an art studio not knowing what to expect, and yet everything takes her by surprise. Anonymous confessions litter the walls, and Owen, owner of the studio, turns them into art. That's the premise of the novel, when it comes down to it: Turning pain, regret, and guilt into art.

A headstrong Auburn, for the first time in her life, decides to let her heart take the reigns. The only problem is that Owen has a confession of his own, a confession that threatens to tear the two apart. Auburn must learn to find compromise between her heart and her head; otherwise, she risks losing everything she loves most.

In typical CoHo fashion, Confess was unique, unlike anything I'd read before. Say what you will about Colleen Hoover, but no one can discredit her imagination or originality. Her books are something different, and you never predict that they'll turn out the way they inevitably do.
