 Review: I like Colleen Hoover's concept of contemporary novels. Her writing style is addictive, captivating, and gets me hooked more to her books. Yet, I don't enjoy that she characterises her female protagonists as good girls, who never step out of the line, and too bland for my liking. As I would like to say that I fancy none of Colleen Hoover's female characters. 
 Auburn is an example of an innocent, good girl, who doesn't disobey shit for the sake of someone she loves, yet she acts as the victim most of the time. I found Auburn in the position of slut-shaming another woman as well. As I said, I don't buy into liking Colleen Hoover's female protagonists, Auburn is another female character that I would not be interested in. 
 And along with that, there's this one line that I totally cringed: 
 "I don't do this kind of thing. I don't invite guys into my homes. Texas is turning me into a whore." 
 Urm... I don't see a problem inviting guys into a home. Why does that make a girl a whore? 
 Although she is that annoying, I enjoyed the big reveal about her in the book, which made me think that whatever she was doing, she was doing it right in the way of preventing her loved one from slipping out of her fingers. 
 Right, now let's move on to Owen Gentry, shall we? 
 Colleen Hoover makes Owen look like a physically flawless looking guy when observed deliberately by Auburn. Nice try, honey. Still not something I would fall for. Owen had a lot of girlfriends in the past that he admitted to never love more than his art. He is not entirely innocent from what I had seen nearly 60% of the book, but he was made to look good by another character in the view, who is pretty much an asshole with sexual assault. 
 In the mean time, Owen has a weird funny thing about his name. (I laughed a lot.) The concept behind each of Owen's painting was interesting. (Some of which are shown in the book.) He took confessions that was dropped at his art studio as an inspiration for his painting. 
 Another thing that I really like about this book is the story behind a painting in Auburn's apartment, which was told from Owen's POV. 
 Overall: I actually really enjoyed reading Confess, it was a great book. Though, I would like to see more like Ugly Love from her.
