Details: Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781471148590 Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK Age Range: 18+ (Adult Fiction) Overview: Confess is a raw, emotionally charged standalone romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover. Auburn Reed, rebuilding her life after devastating loss, takes a job at an art studio and finds herself drawn to Owen Gentry, an artist whose confessional paintings hide painful secrets. Perfect for readers who loved It Ends With Us or Ugly Love, this brand-new paperback delivers Hoover's signature blend of heartbreak, hope and unforgettable characters in one gripping sitting. About the Book: When Auburn Reed walks into Gentry's art studio looking for a job, she isn't searching for love — she's searching for stability, having sacrificed her own dreams to hold her fractured family together. What she finds instead is Owen Gentry, a talented but guarded artist whose "confessional" paintings invite strangers to anonymously share their deepest secrets on canvas. As Auburn and Owen grow closer, the walls each has built begin to crumble, revealing truths neither is prepared to face. Owen is hiding something enormous from his past that threatens to unravel their fragile trust, and Auburn must decide whether love is worth the risk of being hurt all over again. Told with Hoover's trademark emotional intensity, Confess weaves the visual art of the confessional paintings into the plot, letting both characters process guilt, grief and forgiveness. The Dallas setting grounds the story in everyday realism, while the mystery of Owen's secret keeps the pages turning to the final, tearjerking chapters. Confess explores what it means to be honest — with others and yourself — and asks whether love can survive when the truth comes out. It's ideal for anyone who enjoys emotionally driven romance with real stakes and a cathartic ending. Written by Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us. A complete standalone novel — no need to read any other Hoover books first. Combines emotional contemporary romance with a genuine mystery to keep pages turning. Brand-new UK paperback edition, perfect for gifting or adding to a Hoover collection.
