A Novel by Colleen Hoover | Summary & Analysis

This is a Summary & Analysis of Confess. Colleen Hoover is a writer who first came to bestsellerdom through the back door of self-publishing. Signs of the author's spunk and energy fill this novel, which is highly readable, funny in all the right places, but also heart-breaking. Readers who value complex character-development and moral ambiguity won't find much to love in Confess, but the novel is a fun and clever story of two very unlucky young people who find redemption in each other.

Confess is a romantic story about two young people, Auburn and Owen, who both have difficult pasts they'd like to keep secret. When Owen hires Auburn to work in his art gallery, their immediate attraction is hard to ignore; for the first time in years, they each feel as if they've found someone who understands them. However, the secrets Auburn is hiding means that she has to stay away from Owen, no matter how impossible that seems. It is an original and entertaining romance, filled with quirky characters, surprising secrets and clever plot twists.

Don't spend money on these summary and analysis books. You can google this information for free.
This is just weird.
Not the fun cool kind of weird like my middle child.
This is the gross, rip-people-off-for-kicks kind of weird.

This book is soaked in secrets, vulnerability, and the beauty of confession. Auburn and Owen’s story is laced with tension and hope, told with Hoover’s signature blend of intensity and tenderness. The inclusion of real art adds a unique touch, and the emotional payoff is well worth it.
Perfect if you love romance tied to personal growth and forgiveness.

Its a good collaboration of confessing and expressing it to the work of art. Cliff hanger but I enjoy it. You could see the highs and lows of people. What is behind that confession.

I love that auburn found someone like Owen. They both are so misunderstood and empaths so finding that love is beautiful… I definitely didn’t expect the end so a sweet twist.
