From The Publisher:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 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.

Woah I wasn't prepared for the book to hit me so hard and that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I have read one book by her before but wasn't over joyed by it. I listened to some of it at first and wasn't in love with it but then decided to read it instead and maybe I just picked the perfect spot but wow I got so hooked on the story. Never thought I would give a Colleen Hoover book stars, didn't think they where for me but here we are
I got through it but it is pretty awful. If I think about it too long, I will probably get more angry and drop it to a 1. Unrealistic and stupid plot, flat characters, melodrama to the soap opera level, and tons of sexism! The female character is so passive and pathetic, she just waits around to be saved from an abusive relationship and is eventually by her new artsy boyfriend, his father, and even her roommate.
