Confess by Colleen Hoover
Confess by Colleen Hoover Book Summary
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, a novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.
At age twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important to her. In her fight to rebuild her shattered life, she has her goals in sight and there is no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.
For once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.
To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.

so amazing. one of my favorite romances ever
Incredible.. I’m not typically a reader, the last time I read a book for my own enjoyment was over ten years ago when I was 14 reading the twilight series… lol. But I’ve seen this authors name so many times and I’m a sucker for a good love story so I tried out her books. I’ve only read two so far but each of them blew me away. The way Colleen Hoover pulls at emotional strings while also hitting you with a twist you didn’t expect and then also giving the best endings possible, is incredible. I cried when I read both books, this one and “Ugly Love”. I can’t stop reading now and look forward to more!
Amazing!. Another great read by Hoover. Much less intense than other books of hers and this can be great for a book club!
Confess. Amazing. I couldn’t stop once I started reading it. 🤩
Confess. This book made its way into my heart.. I have fell in love with Colleen’s books and this one is no exception I feel like I can’t do anything else other than read her books!! Thank you Colleen for the books!
Soooo good. I really enjoyed this book! Read it in two days.
New favorite. Every time I finish one of Colleen’s books I think this one is my favorite and then I finish another one that becomes my new favorite. This was a beautiful book.
.. Amazing!
Another Fantastic One!!!. Wow!! Every time I read one of your books I say “this one is my favorite”. Amazing writing! Just amazing! Enjoyed every minute of it.
amazinggggggg. amazing loved all of it, couldn’t even put it down
Fast read!. Couldn’t put it down
I love Colleen’s books. Another great read by Colleen! This books isn’t long and you truly can finish it quickly. I enjoyed the elements of mystery that she added in this one. There was something missing for me that I can’t pinpoint in this book, otherwise I’d probably give it a 5 star.
One of CH best books!. I absolutely loved this book! Definitely one of my favorites!!!
Love it. I love this book! This my third Colleen Hoover book and my favorite by far. I couldn’t put it down. Colleen has such a refreshing way of writing. I’ve read plenty of books that leave me dissatisfied but this one gripped me, I fell in love with Owen’s character. Thank you Ms. Hoover for delighting my soul.
Hard to get through.. I’d say I’m a fan of Colleen’s. I’ve read the majority of her books and have always enjoyed the journey each one takes you on. My biggest critique would be that the love scenes in almost all of her books are quite foolish, exaggerated and generally super unrealistic (I’m mainly referring to the dialogue between the characters in these scenes). Although I’m usually able to read through it, I simply couldn’t with this book. There’s a lot I skipped over because of how cringey the dialog is — especially between characters who have known each other for less than two days. This is the longest it’s taken me to get through one of her books because of how off-putting the interaction between the characters is. I’m only going to finish it because people have mentioned that they enjoyed the ending and now I’m too curious not to. I wouldn’t suggest this one to anyone — read her other books instead.
Don’t waste your money. I must write this review because I’m a huge fan of Colleen’s. I respect her efforts but this book was very hard to get through. It’s boring and the story really could’ve been a short story. The ending was the best part. It took 10 days to finish because I wasn’t excited to read, like I normally am with her books.there’s a lot of repetition. A lot of wasted pages. Ready verity or November 9 instead!
Another great read. Couldn’t put this book done!
Love this. Wish I can reread to feel the emotions again
emotional. !!! great read, felt every emotion
So good. Colleen, darling… you’ve done it again! I can’t believe how many times you’ve broken my heart with your incredible story telling! A must read for all CoHo fans, for sure.
Confess. This book was amazing I hate reading normally and this book has made me fall in love with reading again.
Great book!. Couldn’t put this book down! Very well written ❤️
Kept me hooked. This book kept me hooked from the jump. I read it all on in sitting by accident! The ending was such a surprise that left me emotional.
Read in a day! Couldn’t put the book down. This book had me an emotional mess. I loved it and couldn’t put it down. Laughed. cried, and wanted to scream a few times!
10/10. Loved it
Insipid. I have read other books by this author and I thought they were well written. This one is filled with too much insipid romance and is so slow. I put it down on page 200 and could not finish it.
Stunning. I devour everything Hoover puts out but this is at the top of that list. I could not stop, I loved every minute!
Wow.. Just wow
confess. Read this in a day! Loved how the story told both auburn and owen's side of the story. Their connection made me so teary eyed. It definitely made me believe their is such a thing as fate out there. Definitely worth the read!
Great story. LOVED IT!
Slow, Slow, Slow Start, Amazing Ending. I love me some Colleen Hoover but man did this book have a slow start and a slow middle. It really stared picking up towards the end and I loved every second of it. Also, the ending was incredible and worth it, so if you are having a hard time getting through this book just keep going it’s worth it!
Fantastic. Such a great story. Super easy to love and become invested to the characters. Underrated!!
So good. I finished this so fast ,loved the story line .
My opinion .. okay so this book was a great book but i kinda had to force myself to read it. but when i did force myself i loved every moment of reading it so maybe i was just unmotivated. but this book is an amazing book. really well written. and its another one of colleen hoovers amazing books like always 9/10.
Slow start. This book started so much slower than other Colleen Hoover books I’ve read in the past but got really good at the end
WOW. ALL THE EMOTIONS in the best way.. This book truly kept me turning the pages and wanting more the whole time. The way that the author teased how Owen knew Auburn at the beginning of the book makes you feel like it may be from a negative memory but the way he knew her was truly unmatched. It’s so easy to love Owen and the way he cares for others and will do anything for the ones he loves even if it impacts his life in the greatest ways. The guilt he holds from the car accident is clearly there but the way you watch him learn to accept it and continue to help his father is beautiful. Auburns drive and love for her son is the sweetest thing and really incredible how she’ll do absolutely anything for him. The end is truly a mic drop moment when you think Trey has won but she comes up with the master plan to get Owen out of jail and get custody of her son. This book is one of my favorites from CoHo!
Left me breathless. Absolutely speechless, it’s absolutely perfect
Simply Fantastic!. One of the best books I have read in a long time and I read a lot…
Decent. Compared to her other works this was a bit of a let down for me, a lot of filler and Owen’s character was an exact copy of Miles from Ugly Love. Considering that it was overall a good read but not worth the price if you’re going to reuse characters. It didn’t give me fresh the more I think about it, it’s a combo of It ends with Us and Ugly Love. Which kinda left no surprises because knowing nothing those stories I already knew the plot behind this one. Beginning and End were the only good parts about this book.
The perfect short romance I needed. This book was an easy read, I finished in two days! I was in desperate need of a little love story pick me up and this book checked that box. Definitely worth the read, Colleen Hoover does not miss!
Amazing. I couldn’t put this book down. From the minute I picked it up I couldn’t set it down. I finished it in 2 days! Loved it.
So Good. Love the ending!
Confess review! 10/10👍. 10/10 I definitely recommend this book! It’s the best. I definitely love it!
Love it!!. I just can’t with her books! Out of all of them idk why this one is my absolute favorite!!!
The journey of love. And emotional journey about love, fate, control, and life. Must read!
Absolutely Wonderul. I could not put this book down! I fell in love with the characters and was not ready for it to end! Such a good read!!!
Best book I’ve ever read. I finished this book in less than a day and sobbed my heart out throughout the last 100 pages. It’s heart wrenching and beautiful. Amazing amazing book.

OMG.... These three letters we all know will also mean something else after you read this book. Just wow! I've have read all the books from Colleen, they're all good but this one was amazing.
Beautiful fate. Another beautiful, tear jerker from Hoover. Please don't miss out on this one.
Great story. Great story, I like how she writes and tells a story and this is the first book of hers that I read and very happy I did 😊
Highly recommend! 10/10. This was one of my absolute favourites! You must read it!!
LOVED. this was the first book I've read from Colleen Hoover & have since purchased a few more! This book was amazing and had me on edge I couldn't put it down or stop reading I really felt like I was in the book seeing all this firsthand, great read I would for sure recommend it
10/10. I definitely started out bawling my eyes out and ended the book crying but I absolutely loved this book and their story!

Amazing. She did it again. Beautiful.
So good!. I haven’t found a book from CH that I haven’t been able to read in one day. They’re all so good.
Amazing!!. Colleen Hoover is a fantastic author. Confess is the first book of hers that I read and I literally couldn't put it down. Within the next few days after finishing it I read 4 more of her books. I highly recommend!!
My heart is ice no more. This is honestly one of the most heartbreaking but beautiful books I have ever read. I never write reviews for books, but I had to for this. Read this if you need your icy cold heart melted.
The Emotions.. WOW!. I loved reading this book. At first I was unsure I liked it but I’m so happy I continued reading. Every emotion the characters felt I felt too and it kept me from closing the book. 5 stars all the way!!
Yes yes yes. Absolutely loved loved this book!!!
Loved it. Loved it make feel like you are there with them.
ONE OF HER BEST BOOKS. If not, maybe her BEST one yet. I read this in about 5 hours. I couldn’t put it down. I felt every emotional in my soul. It’s one of those books - you’ll laugh, cry, and get angry! So beautiful written! WOW!
Not bad. I recently read "it ends with us," and LOVED it. I couldn't put it down. So I was excited to read more by Colleen Hoover. I did like this book, it definitely did not hold my attention like ends with us did. Still a great book though.
Wow. This Book Made Me Laugh And Made Me Cry. I Felt What Adam Felt, I Felt What Owen Felt And I Felt What Auburn Felt. Took Me Only A Day To Read And From The First Page To The Last I Loved Every Word!! Besides Ugly Love This Is The Second Book Of Colleen's I Have Read.... I Wish This Didn't Have To End. Thank You!!
Confess. EPIC!!!!
Beautiful. I’ve read almost all of Colleen’s books (and always read them in one day because I can’t put them down) they always pull you in and make you feel the feels. I always feel so emotionally drained while reading them though. Maybe Someday, Ugly Love and this book are my favorites!!
I really don’t have words to describe it.. This book went way beyond my expectations, I can’t even put it into words. Like I say in every review I do of Colleen’s novels, her writing is impeccable and is no doubt my favorite to read. The way she builds her characters and builds these relationships through words is astonishing. The whole time I’m reading it feels as if I’m reading a strong story of poetry. It’s amazing! This story is about two unlucky souls who find each other through fate. They become inseparable, though the events that flow through the story tear them apart. It’s an incredible journey for them to find a way around it and I highly recommend reading to find out how they do it. Also, I could not have loved the ending more, though my heart squeezes a little at the thought of how cool it would have been if Auburn knew about Adam and Owens situation. Kind of like Hopeless in a way.
I wish it was longer. This book was amazing
amazing!. I love her books!!!
slowburn. i don’t normally like slowburns but THIS ONE HAD A GOOD ENDING!
one more chapter. I’m a little torn when it comes to how I feel about this book. I did sit down and read it in one sitting & I absolutely ugly cried, it left me wanting more.
I'll love you forever ... even when I shouldn't. What a beautiful story. I’m not sure what I thought Confess would really be about but I loved how Owen, an artist, has a slot at his studio where people can walk by and leave anonymous confessions about anything they want. He uses these as inspiration for the art he creates, naming each piece with the confession. Owen finds a kinship with these confessions as he tries to cope with his own fractured past. Auburn finds herself living in a new city for very challenging reasons after the love of her life dies as a teenager. She needs another job and finds herself in front of Owen’s gallery where a help wanted sign is posted. It sort of feels like fate. We get to experience these two broken souls as they connect on that fateful night. With all the hurdles they each have to face, can they find a path to love? Will they let themselves realize that they deserve love? I loved every heart stopping moment of this incredible love story that also surprised me more than once with the wonderful twists and turns.
Beautiful read..... When I started this and was reading the prologue, I almost put it down. I’m glad I didn’t, an excellent heartfelt story.
Soooo good!. This book is so good! It makes you never want to put it down. It has a lot of twists and turns and makes you think one thing and then something else happens. A+
AMAZING!. All of her books are so good but this is definitely one of my favorites yet. The end made me so emotional with such a good ending! Recommend this over and over.
Outstanding. This is only my second book I’ve read from Hoover yet both are my favorite out of all the romance books I’ve ever read (and I’ve read thousands). This book is perfection. Once I started reading I could stop, even when I was crying about what was taking place. I was immersed into the world of Auburn and Owen and couldn’t escape. I felt all the pain, all the tension, and all the joy they encountered. How Hoover gets me to connect with the characters and feel their every emotion astounds me. This book is a must read or even reread!
Read the entire thing all in one day!!. I didn’t want to put it down!
I couldn’t put down!. Beautifully written - I read well into the night because I couldn’t put down
Must Read. I'm not sure how Colleen Hoover seems to come up with the most amazing and memorable quotes, but she does every time. I'm sure you will notice my list of favorite quotes is the longest I've ever made. I even left some out because the list kept growing. Colleen's writing reminds me more of poetry or song lyrics than a novel. She invokes such strong emotions and feeling with her writing that I can only compare her to a very short list of authors. I love how Colleen waited until the very last chapter to reveal certain events that happened years before and had unknowingly impacted Auburn's life both in the past and the present. Yes, these events COULD have been revealed in the beginning of the story, but I felt like the mystery throughout combined with the revelation at the end added so much more emotion with a larger impact. I am slowly making my way through all of Colleen Hoover's books and as soon as I heard about Confess being made into a show for Verizon's Go90 app, I knew this had to be my next read.
I can't read it. I purchased the book and it keeps telling me error none of the pages will load.
Great read!. Great read !!!!!
Great read. I have not experienced emotions at an ending of a book like I did finishing this one. It gets to be a bit redundant in the middle, but the end is definitely worth it.
Another fabulous book by CoHo. I loved everything about this book.
beautiful heartbreak. She pieced the puzzle together perfectly in the end, multiple ugly cries (beware)
BEST BOOK EVER.. LOVED THIS SO MUCH. New favorite book, no doubt.
Love Colleen’s Books!. Another WOW book! You will hooked from the beginning until the end. A great love story, I couldn’t put the book down!
Amazing!. I read this in three days I could not put it down! Amazing!
Amazing!. Love how this story came full circle!
Amazing!!!. My eyes are so puffy from crying. Cried in the first chapter & then on the last one. So captivating & the storyline is just ACE. 🙌🏽 Beautiful written. I just wish there was more closure but other than that, AMAZING!
Wow!. I’m not sure what I expected this book to be about but wow! The storyline was so good. This is the first book I’ve read by Colleen Hoover and I can’t wait to read another. The characters were so well written, the twists in the plot were captivating and I enjoyed every second of this book.
Beautiful. This book was beautifully written and immediately had me engrossed. The amount of emotions this story evokes are amazing. I knew from the first page that I was going to love this and I'm so grateful that I picked it up by chance. It's such a beautiful story and I'm thrilled that it will grace my bookshelves forever!
rollercoaster of emotions. I absolutely loved this book. The ending was amazing to read. I wish it kept going!
AMAZING!. This is one of my favorite books. I fell in love with Auburn and Owen instantly. I felt every emotion while reading; all the laughs and cries. It kept me on the edge of my seat with all of the twists and turns! I will forever recommend this book!
Emotional roller coaster!!. Gosh, this book brought so many emotions forward! I’m a huge fan of colleens writings and this was a tear jerker for sure!
lost for words. beautifully written. cried
Wonderful. This story made me cry 😔 I feel so happy I ran into this book in the library ❤️ wow! Bravo Colleen! I would soooo love this book come to life! A movie 👌🏼❤️😊 I will definitely go to sleep thinking about this book! Excellent job👏🏼
OMG. This book is amazing. I started reading it and could not put the book down, read it in one day.
Amazing. Seriously this book is amazing. I cry like a baby at the ending this is probably my second favorite book after it ends with us. God I love Colleen. She’s amazing and get me right where it hurts. Everyone should read this book
Phenomenal. This book completely touched my heart and really opened my eyes to the world of domestic abuse. Colleen’s “note from the author” at the end of the story about her mother is so heartbreaking, but shows what an incredible woman she is. This is an amazing book wow.
I’m not sure I’ll ever forget this book. Was looking to get into Hoover after reading “ugly love” and liking it but not LOVING it so I looked into more of her books. This was my second read and while it seems to drag a little in the middle she GETS US THERE. What an amazing read. Started at 8:15 AM and sitting here at 9:15 PM I’m speechless.
Confess. Title is an amazing fit for this book.
‘OMG’💫💥🍷 🖼. This is the fourth book that I’ve read of hers. I was so sure ‘It Ends With Us’ was my favorite but this book definitely takes first place. Wow! I cannot wait to read every book Colleen Hoover has ever written. Yes it’s that amazing! Love Owen so much!!
Artistically beautiful. As a person who has a passion in art. He was a brilliant artist. Shows you there are other ways to show your emotions. I love the storyline. This was definitely a quick look on how life can magically work its fate to your true calling. Read it and youll see what i mean.
10/10. Confess is definitely a great read! It’s so heartfelt and perfectly described the lengths that love can go and how much love can endure. I loved the the beginning, middle and the ending was literally thee cherry on top! Colleen Hoover is so clever and descriptive and the added illustrations was definitely a pleasant surprise but an amazing touch! Would recommend 100%.
