Hello beautiful people today is book day and I bring you a wonderful one.
Colleen Hoover is the New York Times No. 1 selling author of eleven novels and five short novels. Hoover's novels fall into the categories of new adults and young adults.
Colleen was born on December 11, 1979 in Sulfur Springs, Texas, she grew up in Saltillo, TX, and graduated from Saltillo High School in 1998. In 2000, she married Heath Hoover, with whom she now has three children. Hoover graduated from Texas A & M-Commerce with a degree in Social Work. She did various social and teaching jobs until her writing career began.
In November 2011, Colleen began writing her first novel, Slammed, with no intention of being published. She was inspired by the lyrics, "Decide what to be and go to be", from an Avett Brothers song, "Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise" and use it in the book. After a few months, her novel was reviewed by a major book blogger, Maryse Black, who gave it 5 stars, which caused her sales to increase rapidly.
But today I'm going to tell you about Confess a novel that was released on March 10, 2015, it is a novel full of science fiction, contemporary romance, and won the “Goodreads Choice Award in the Best Romance Category”
SYNOPSIS:
Auburn Reed has his whole life planned. Her goals are set and there is no room for error, but when she walks into an art studio in Dallas looking for a job, she doesn't expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.
For the first time, Auburn takes a risk and gives him the control, only to discover that Owen has enormous secrets to reveal. The sheer size of his past threatens to destroy everything that is important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to take Owen away from her.
The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he doesn't seem to be able to convince her that sometimes truths are as subjective as art. All you would have to do to save your relationship is confess. But in this case, confession could be much more destructive than sin...
This novel is narrated from the point of view of the two protagonists, which I liked very much because we can come to understand the way of acting of both and we can come to emphasize with them much more easily. Both Auburn and Owen are two very complete characters that, above all, evolve a lot throughout the pages due to the situations they have to go through.
“I think love is a hard word to define. You can love a lot of things about a person, but still not love the whole person”.
Confess's prologue is simply heartbreaking, I find it spectacular that Colleen managed to break my heart in the first pages of the book without knowing anything about the characters. I have always admired the way that Colleen weaves a story and gives you answers throughout the book, it shows that she plans them first and not only writes along the way.
I would love to highlight the visual of the book, the cover itself is beautiful but the book has some images that are the faces, or portraits that Owen paints and they are magnificent. In the novel He is inspired by people's confessions and this is where the title makes sense, his study is called "Confess" and people write a confession anonymously to leave it there. Owen then reads them and creates his pictures.
Confess is a book full of secrets and mysteries that are revealed little by little, many of them surprised me and literally left me speechless. Suspense permeates the book to the last pages, making me hooked to the last page.
I recommend it 100% you will not regret reading it.
XOXO Li.
Great!
