Goodreads:  From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies. 

Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s 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 risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets 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.

The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

Ope’s Opinion:  My attention was caught from the beginning of this book.  As I got further into it, I thought I knew where it was going – I was Wrong!!!!!!  Colleen Hoover wrote in a some amazing twist and turns that I did not see coming at all.  This story had me holding my breath at several different times.  I was rooting for Auburn all the way through it.

The ending was not what I expected – it was better!!  I can not wait to read Colleen Hoover again and again…

Side note – there was a lot of use of the “f” word, but if you can skip over that – it was worth the read.

Rating:  5 – This book is so good it will be passed on and on and on….
