Rating: 4/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 I really enjoyed this one! I normally don't read romances, contemporaries, or new adult books, but this one was pretty good. This was also my first Colleen Hoover book and now I definitely want to read more. 
 This book is told from two perspectives, Auburn and Owen. Auburn is a girl from Portland, and her reason for moving to Texas is revealed as the book goes on. At the beginning of the book, she's struggling to get the money to hire a lawyer for a reason we learn later. Owen is an artist meets up with Auburn when she pauses to view the confessions posted outside his art studio. Owen has many secrets (as the summary would suggest) which we slowly uncover throughout the book. 
 I don't really know why I liked this book so much. I don't really have much else to compare it to since this isn't normally a genre that I read. I liked the characters and the little bits of humour they provided. The story was really interesting and there were a few things which happened that I didn't really expect. It actually made me tear up in a few spots because some parts were just so sad. This book made me happy, made me laugh, made me sad, and made me angry. So many emotions, and I applaud Hoover for it. 
 At times, Auburn seemed like a pretty weak. She never stood up for herself and just allowed others to treat her in whatever way they please. I know that she had her reasons, but I still feel like she could've stood up for herself more. It wasn't really a huge issue with me, but I know a lot of people have issues with how fast Owen and Auburn seem to "love" each other. 
 Overall, this was a pretty great read. I didn't expect to enjoy it this much since I don't normally read romance novels. It was a pleasant surprise and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering reading it, even if this isn't your normal genre.
