Okay okay, I think this is my favorite CoHo book. I love Auburn, I love her story and I love Owen, especially them together. I hate Trey! What a disgusting character. There are so many aspects of this book that took me by surprise. A beautiful story with twists, heartbreak, anger, so many emotions. I’ve never come across a book that is like this. It’s so cool that Colleen used real confessions from readers and she had an artist create Owen’s paintings. Those two aspects made the book feel more real and interesting. I really really really love this book!

First things first, I was kind of frustrated when I went searching through reviews and couldn't find trigger warnings. I'm glad I asked a friend beforr I read too far. Friends, please remember that not everyone's triggers are the same... so I will be including trigger warnings - I don't care if they are spoilers or not. 
I liked the book. It was a good story. And the inclusion of the artwork was unique and I loved the art. Especially the idea of the art with the confessions. There was just so much lying and sadness in this book... I think CoHo and I just don't get along in that regard. I want happier stories - I hear enough sad stories about rough lives in real life. But I do think elements of this one were really important and it is well written.
