You can read Reminders of Him, It’s not so much better but they are almost the same stories and Reminders of Him is a better version of Confess.This guide refers to the 2015 Atria Books edition of Confess.Ĭontent Warning: Confess contains scenes portraying addiction, sexual assault, and domestic violence. I would definitely not be recommending Confess. There was just so much drama going on with the characters and all involved, that after going through such a roller coaster, you are left with a moment that is anticlimactic. Auburn was as annoying as Collen’s female characters could get and all I saw was a whinny somewhat small person I just couldn’t relate with. Owen makes decisions hoping that things out of his control will magically happen. The ending was not satisfying it felt empty.Īnother thing was I just couldn’t relate with any of the characters. The book started out interesting and true to Colleen Hoover’s writing style, there was the instalove in the first few pages, then the reason they wouldn’t be together, then them still fighting to be together, then the reveal at the end that’s supposed to make it all make sense, It’s worked in other books but not just this one. it felt like she wrote Reminders of Him to apologise for how subpar Confess was. One thing I kept on saying was how awfully similar this story was to Reminders of Him. Mean’s I’m not as upset as I would probably have been. I’m glad I listened to this as an audiobook.

I’m afraid Colleen has just applied the same formula, Trauma, tragic event, a lady in distress and put it all in one book. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything Auburn loves most, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it-but can she do it?
