Confess

This book took me by surprise in that I didn't expect a lot of the major plot twists. Maybe it's because of how young the characters are but I found them at times too corny, or too immature. But it's interesting how the dialogue changed my perception a little when more and more secrets were revealed. Still I found some of the inner dialogue from the main character kind of eye roll moments. Especially how slut shaming she was with herself and incredibly insecure. I also found the falling in love kind of rushed. The main characters were sweet and had really great lines between them but I didn't feel a deep connection through the writing. I even skipped the sex scene and was way more interested in their individual problems than the conflict of there love. Although there was a great improvement in character development overall, I found the development and or ending a little rushed. The story was still very beautiful and I guess the insecurities and immature flaws in the characters made them more real. But it made me not invest myself as much as I would have liked. Overall it was a good read but I wouldn't recommend this particular stand alone from the other works of Colleen Hoover.
