Publisher's summary

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us, a novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.

At age twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important to her. In her fight to rebuild her shattered life, she has her goals in sight and there is 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 chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret 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.

To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.

#Confess, 5 stars are not enough for this story!

OMG (not being lame, you’ll see when you read the book) this is one of the most incredible stories I have read. Colleen Hoover just has this amazing talent of weaving storylines together, so much so you can never guess what is coming. This book will fill you with so many emotions right from the prologue. I literally went from sobbing, to laughing to hating some characters so much I could feel my blood pressure rising! The story has the perfect blend of raw reality and humor right when you need it most.

I read the paperback and listened to the audiobook at the same time, because I simply did not want to have to put the story down for any reason! Sebastian York and Elizabeth Louise did an amazing job narrating the story for the chapters I listened to. I look forward to listening to the whole audiobook soon since this story just begs to be read over and over!

Of course, this isn’t just a simple book. In the digital or paperback version, you also get to see the paintings (commissioned by Danny O’Connor) that Owen creates from peoples’ confessions and that adds so much more to the experience. I can’t even look at the last painting without wanting to curl up in the fetal position and bawl my eyes out! Please do yourself a favor and also purchase the digital or hard copy of the books in addition to this very well done audiobook!

I am simply in awe of Colleen Hoover’s creativity and storytelling ability. Seriously, 5 stars are just not enough for this book!

This is a good basic romance novel. I liked the theme about fate leading you to the person you will fall in love with.

Colleen Hoover, Please Stop Doing This To My Heart

Just go ahead and use your credit on it. This book was AMAZING! It breaks your heart in the first few minutes but warms it back up by the end of the book. And of course, I'm bias because of the amazing Sebastian York was one of the narrators. So just say yes to the book!

O.M.G.

What did you love best about Confess?

Colleen Hoover has an amazing ability to make you feel a range of nearly every single human emotion possible. You'll cry your eyes out and then on the next page you'll left hysterically.

What did you like best about this story?

All the confessions and the fact that they are from real fans.

Which scene was your favorite?

Can't pick just one.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The prologue had me crying and then again at the end.

Any additional comments?

I was 7 minutes into the (audio) book and cried. So I knew this would be a great book. Just like every other Colleen Hoover book, this one had me full of feels and emotions. Of course I was laughing so much as well because let’s face it, Colleen Hoover writes hilarious books! How does she always seem to come up with these exceptional story lines??!!!
Trey and Lydia – I can’t say out loud what I think about you both because Jesus is watching.
