Confess

Elsker, E.L.S.K.E.R konceptet i denne bog! Hvor er det dog genialt. Colleen Hoovers bøger overrasker mig gang på gang, og hver gang bliver jeg lige overrasket over hendes evne til originalitet, karakterskabning, plottwists og hendes evne til at skabe en vild romantik i hendes bøger. Dette er dog den første af hendes bøger jeg giver 4 stjerner, hvilket er fordi den ikke bandt mig på samme måde som de andre bøger jeg har læst af hende. Men den fortjener stadig en masse ros, for jeg elsker konceptet!

Quote: "I'll love you forever. Even when I can't." - ræk mig lige et lommetørklæde. Confess er på en måde en lidt barsk bog når man tænker over at alle de confessions man læser er sande confessions af anonyme mennesker. Det gør det på en måde hele mere sandværdigt og troværdigt. Bogen i sig selv er rå og fremragende i måden den binder læseren fast. Jeg læste den stort set uafbrudt og var færdig på under 2 dage. Hoover har det med at fange læseren med det samme så man ikke kan andet end at læse hendes bøger fra ende til anden, gerne så hurtigt som muligt så man ved hvad der sker til sidst og når man så endelig kommer til slutningen vil man ikke have at det stopper, man vil bare have mere. Mere mere mere.

Det er skøn skøn skøn bog, selvom man ikke er til insta-love bør man stadig læse denne bog. I denne bog skifter man POV mellem Owen og Auburn. Auburn står for forordet, hvor hun er 15 år og mister sin store kærlighed. 5 år senere begynder selve handlingen i bogen, hvor Auburn møder Owen. Owen er maler og lader sig inspirerer af folks tilståelser, som de kan skrive på et stykke papir og smide i en boks. Owen har en galleriåbning og har brug for hjælp en dag og Auburn har brug for pengene. Allerede fra første møde går man og håber på, at det lykkes for det unge par, men der er bare et lille tiny problem.... Okay et ret stort men, der skal klares først. Også har vi to bipersoner, som man vil elske at læse mere om! Auburns roomie, der er lidt speciel, men på den gode måde og den irske bartender, som er Owens ven. Det er en fantastisk bog, og hvis man er til Hoovers andre bøger, vil man også blive glad for denne. Hun er genialt til at holde læseren interesse, så nu er I advaret - det er svært, at stoppe, når man først er gået i gang med at læse den!

Alt i denne bog giver bare mening. Det er virkelig for godt til at være sandt, men man sluger det bare råt. Denne bog er hemmelig på hemmelighed, der bare bliver afsløret for læseren, og disse hemmeligheder binder alle personerne endnu tættere sammen, end man først antog. Hold nu op, hvor er det bare godt gjort. Inden du læser Confess, burde du klargøre et par lommetørklæder. Dine øjne bliver våde og tårerne kommer til at trille (medmindre dit hjerte er af sten).

QUOTE: “I’ll love you forever. Even when I can’t.” Confess is a heartwarming and heartbreaking story about love and the things you sometimes need to sacrifice for love. Sometimes you even have to sacrifice love for love. Before I began reading I had really high expectations, because this after all a Colleen Hoover book, and she has never let me down before. And she didn't let me down this time either. The writing was, as always, flawless, flowed nicely and it felt like every single word had been carefully selected. Nothing felt random. QUOTE: “Tell me something about yourself that no one else knows. Something I can keep for myself.” The book begins when our heroine, Auburn, is 15 years old, in love and has to say goodbye to the guy she loves, because he is dying. All this happens in the prologue, and that was exactly how long it took before I burst into tears. The prologue. I was a crying mess after the prologue. Is that even possible? Wait, HOW is that possible? Because Colleen Hoover wrote it, and she is magical, that's how! Normally it would take a lot more than 15 pages to get me to feel a connection to the characters that would be strong enough to actually make me cry on their behalf, but this time I connected with them instantly. It is truly brilliant. I don't know how she does it, but with every Hoover book I read my connection to the characters and the story happens instantly. It's like I walk straight into a wall of love, and it hits me so hard in the head that I fall head over heels in love with all the characters. And that is why I know her books won't ever let me down, because if she can make me love characters instantly, she can do anything. QUOTE: “I'm afraid if I listen to my heart once, I'll never figure out how to ignore it again.” The story continues 5 years after the events of the prologue. Auburn has moved to Texas, and isn't exactly pleased with it, and generally she isn't pleased with her life. Then she meets Owen, who is desperately looking for someone to help him at his art gallery/studio. Auburn shows up to help and they connect. I loved watching Owen and Auburn together. Their connection felt real, even though they didn't know each other in the beginning, and even though they only met a handful of times before they realized they loved each other. It never felt like instant love, because that would have pissed me off. No, it felt heartwarming and real. I believed in their connection! And this is another thing that Hoover does. She makes the connections between the characters real. They develop realistically and without any unnecessary drama. Everything that happens in the story and between the characters feels like it has to happen. There is nothing random about it, and that is another reason why Colleen Hoover is truly my favorite author. She just has the magic touch when it comes to writing stories and developing lovable characters. QUOTE: “I'm scared I'll never feel this again with anyone else," I whisper. He squeezes my hands. "I'm scared you will.” Another thing that I really loved about the book is of course the cover and the art work inside the book. It was so original to actually be able to see the art that Owen produces in the story, and Danny O'Connor (who is the real artist) is so talented. I love all his art. The book took my breath away from page one, and left me breathless to the end. It made my heart race and it made it stop. I smiled like a goof while reading, and I cried like a baby. It was truly an experience to read this book, and I wouldn't be without it, and I would highly recommend everybody to read the brilliance that is Confess.
