Over the last year or so, Colleen Hoover has become one of my go-to, auto-buy authors. I read this book in one sitting and it grabbed hold of my heart and didn’t let go. This is a story of strength and vulnerability, courage and fear, and powerful, powerful love.

But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words.I loved the main characters, their connection, their deep conversation, and how they were both the same even if it doesn’t seem like that. They were both damaged that they were perfect for each other in a way. The only issue I got is that I wanted more of her relationship with her dad. Their relationship is so important I wished it was more focused on. I wanted to see them connect and talk and throw blames and make amends and all of that. I wanted to see how there relationship gets fixed instead of being told that it was. Recién graduada de la secundaria y a dos meses de ir a la universidad con una beca que consiguió con el equipo de voleyball, al llegar al tráiler donde vive con su madre, la encuentra muerta de una sobredosis. El cuerpo de su madre está aún caliente cuando le piden que desaloje el tráiler. Eso la deja en la calle con la única opción de llamar a su padre, con el que no tiene una relación cercana y al que no ve desde hace varios años. Peor aún, su padre se casó y tiene que compartir la casa de playa en la que se están quedando por el verano con su esposa y una hermanastra. When she comes across an old list of things she wanted to do “maybe one of these days,” Maggie decides to live life to the fullest and accomplish these dreams. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.

the plot twist was definitely more easy to stomach in this book. as i’ve said before, i do think that this book is much lighter, simply because it shows how people do bad things, and it doesn’t define them. some people do bad things out of desperation because it’s the only way to survive. it shows that we have to be selfish and own our place in this world which i appreciated. my main problem with coho’s other books was the fact that these toxic mmc’s would do terrible things to the fmc and rather than leaving, they would be given another chance and we are expected to believe they “stay together” for eternity. however, this book did no such thing and rather showed a person just trying to cover up their mistakes from the person they loved as a way to feel accepted and not morally wrong, like how samson knew. also his name being shawn?? it was an unexpected plot point and i felt like it helped build up to the actual plot twist towards the end.

This is the story about a girl who has been through poverty and neglect because of an addict parent. I always say that Colleen is the best story-teller and the story that unfolds in Heart Bones is no different from my original statement. Not long after a heart-stopping first date their new relationship comes to a sudden halt when Layken walks into his classroom.When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change. Or maybe not. Maggie keeps Ridge updated on her adventures, but he can’t help but worry, even as Sydney grows more and more suspicious about their friendship. Unless you were an avid romance reader, you might not have known the name Colleen Hoover before 2021. As all good writers realize, she writes what she knows – family, friendship, change, and especially love. Her plots and characters have immense appeal among young women readers, and she sets her characters in modern day situations of friendship, new relationships, first love, and heartbreak. Slammed Heart Bones is essentially a beach read, Colleen Hoover style, which means it’s heartbreaking and intense. And since the only requirement I have for beach reads is that it takes place on the beach, this book worked for me! And even though I just said it was heartbreaking, Heart Bones was surprisingly an easy, enjoyable read. It didn’t hit quite as emotional as I’m used to from this author but it does have a twist towards the end in classic CoHo style. I wish it could’ve been longer because there was so much to explore near the end but I did like the unique storyline and the heroine’s journey in discovering love and family.

For her fan base, Hoover has also made available a novella for free called Finding Cinderella. How unusual for an author to provide a “thank you “ to their fans for continued support. This is the beauty of internet marketing and social media. Even tough Finding Cinderella is a sequel of sorts, it can stand alone too as its own work. Hopeless
