Confess : a novel / Colleen Hoover.

Hoover, Colleen. (Author).

Summary:

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 : A Novel

Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

Rising new-adult star Hoover (Ugly Love, 2014) will pull heartstrings in this second-chance love story. At 15, Auburn fell deeply in love with a young man who died after a long illness. His family sent her away thinking it wasn't real love, but there is living proof of just how serious it was. On the trail of her child, Auburn ends up in Dallas, finds work at an art gallery, and the talented artist, Owen. He paints pictures based on the often painful confessions people send him anonymously. In a curious twist, Owen recognizes Auburn from the hospital where he heard her say goodbye to her boyfriend five years ago. Owen's problems with his father almost cause him to lose his chance with Auburn, while her difficult situation forces her into a life she doesn't want. But their connection is strong and compels the edgy, sexy story forward. The source of the novel's authenticity is a surprise: Hoover reveals that the confessions Owen received were actually sent to her by readers.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2015 Booklist
