    One of the best books by Colleen Hoover for me, "Confession" published by Dioptra, and the truth is that it had been a while since I felt this way!

    The book follows Auburn, a young woman trying to recover from her personal tragedy and find a way to pursue her dreams. When she meets Owen, an artist, the two of them begin to develop an intense and emotionally charged relationship. However, the secrets of their past force them to face their own truths to find true love and forgiveness.

    Initially, what caught my interest was that the confessions in the book were real from anonymous readers, and our protagonist took these confessions and turned them into works of art!

    It was addictive as always but also very well-crafted, and as a story, it touched on many themes, mainly forgiveness and true love. Amazing, I really hadn't felt this way with her book in a long time. I look forward to the next ones to come in the future

Description & Specifications

A novel about truth, lies, and the risk of absolute love.

Just before turning twenty-one, Omborn Reed has already lost everything. Trying to rebuild her life from scratch, she knows well that there is no room for mistakes.

However, when she walks through the door of an unusual studio in Dallas searching for a job, she doesn't expect that a stranger – the charming and enigmatic artist Owen Gentry – will upset everything she has been trying hard to keep under control.

For the first time, Omborn decides to take a risk and follow her heart, but Owen's past threatens to destroy everything she loves. Everything suggests that the only thing she needs to do to take her life back into her own hands is to remove him permanently from it.

The most well-hidden secrets come to the surface, and their confession proves to be more destructive than the sins they conceal.

  • Genre: Contemporary romantic, emotional drama.
  • Tone/Atmosphere: Touching, suspenseful, with intense emotional elements and a sense of mystery as confessions are revealed.

  • The Power of Secrets: The book revolves around well-hidden secrets that come to the surface, revealing the complexity of human relationships and the consequences of our actions. Confessions, whether shared by the characters or serving as inspiration for the art within the story, play a crucial role in the development of the plot.
  • Love and Loss: O'Bourne, the central heroine, struggles with the memories of a great lost love and tries to rebuild her life. The story explores how loss can shape our future choices and relationships.

Read an excerpt

I walk through the hospital door knowing it will be the last time. In the elevator, I press the number three and watch it light up for the last time. The doors open on the third floor. I smile at the nurse on duty and see, for the last time, the pity on her face. I pass by the supply room, the chapel, and the staff lounge, all for the last time. I keep walking down the corridor and gently knock on his door, my eyes looking straight ahead and my heart full of courage. I wait to hear Adam tell me to come in for the last time. “Come in.” His voice reveals that he still has hope, and I don’t understand how that’s possible. He is in his bed, lying on his back. When he sees me, he comforts me with a smile and lifts the blanket, inviting me to get under it. The bed rail is already down, so I lie down next to him, put my hand on his chest, and entwine our legs.

I bury my face in his neck, searching for his warmth, but I can’t find it. Today he is cold. He shifts until we are in our usual position, with his left arm under me and his right arm over me, pressed close to him. It takes him a little longer than usual to get comfortable, and I notice his breathing becoming heavier with each small movement. I try not to pay attention to these things, but it’s difficult. I sense his growing weakness, his skin becoming slightly paler, his voice more fragile. Every day, during my visit, I watch him drift further and further away from me and there is nothing I can do about it. No one can do anything except watch it happen.
