Heart Bones: Colleen Hoover

Product Information

Beyah comes from a life of poverty and neglect. When her mother dies of an overdose, she goes to live with the father she barely knows. Once there, she feels an immediate attraction to Samson, the handsome guy next door. Beyah recognizes something in him that makes her think they are kindred spirits. Before the summer is over, all their secrets will be revealed to each other. Beyah has a stepsister she's never met named Sarah and Sarah has a friend named Samson. Samson and Beyah seem to be from totally different worlds, but they're more alike then one would think. They both have a lot of secrets, but Beyah can't help but to want to tell all her secrets to Samson and that is very unlike her. When I was reading this, it put me in a Lana Del Rey mode and made me think of her album Born to Die, particularly the song “Blue Jeans,” “Dark Paradise,” and “Summertime Sadness.” Idk, this book just emanates chronically sad vibes. My reasons for loving this book are: something that irks me about coho’s books is how she writes the introduction to the love story. samson was caught taking photos of her and i did find it to be creepy at first, considering it was a random person he didn’t know yet but once the story continued, it made sense. she takes a weird spin on “meet cutes” and doesn’t even make them cute a majority of the time. and the fmc never seems to mind for whatever reason?? and it makes no sense. a majority of the mmc’s in her are extremely questionable and sometimes concerning.

I’m not telling what the secrets were, but I will say that it made for quite a captivating story. I really enjoyed both characters and their stories and though the book did get a bit depressing at times, it was well worth it, The book held my interest the entire time and I was actually surprised a few times. I will definitely read it again sometime. I think I grew a heart bone as well! Even though I’m not a huge fan of the summer romance/summer fling trope, I really liked this one. Because it just turned out being more. This was just so sweet and emotional. This book is a mood in its own way for those damaged and the non fun people and I loved it!! Both of these characters are so broken, and two broken characters healing together... there isn't much I love more than that. This story is heavy and heartbreaking at times, but it's also beautiful. Beyah is such an incredibly strong character. She's loyal and determined and her story broke my heart. By the end of this book I was crying so hard, it was just beautiful. marjorie was so sweet and considerate to everyone around her. she gave peanuts to everyone and loaned samson her house at the end of the book, and it’s clear that it means a lot to samson. she was overall such an interesting character to read about despite being “different.” i am so happy with the way this book ended and how samson looked after her at times and helped her around the house Se ha vuelto una costumbre. Los libros de Coleen Hoover son una aventura (o me gustan o no me gustan) y una subida a una montaña rusa (las emociones fuertes no faltan en sus libros).Beyah is very young, but in her young age she has had to go through too many bad experiences and her reality is far from being even acceptable. Over the last year or so, Colleen Hoover has become one of my go-to, auto-buy authors. I read this book in one sitting and it grabbed hold of my heart and didn’t let go. This is a story of strength and vulnerability, courage and fear, and powerful, powerful love.

Even though pieces of me resemble pieces of them, I’ve never felt like I’ve belonged to either one of them. It’s as if I adopted myself when I was a kid and have been on my own since then.I don’t have to know anything about your past to know you’re a good person. I can tell by your actions. I can tell by the way you treat me. Why would it matter what kind of family you have, or how rich you are, or what the people in your past meant to you before I showed up?” I’m not impenetrable against his mouth. I’m vulnerable, and I feel my guard lowering. I’d give him all my secrets right now and that isn’t me. His kiss is potent enough to turn me into a girl I don’t recognize. I love it and I loathe it. No matter who Cierra was in high school, or who I was, we’re all made up of more than our past behaviors, good or bad. sara was genuinely the sweetest character. her presence was just so nice in the book and she was always able to make it feel better. i have to be honest, i was also a bit hesitant to accept her much like beyah was when she was introduced to the book but over time she grew on me and i held no hatred for her. she was a fun person and i just loved that about her. she was also extremely selfless and accepted beyah for who she was, even if they did not have the same vibe. There she gets to know her father more, her stepmother, Alana, and her daughter, Sara. There she gets to meet Marcos, Sara's boyfriend, and Samson, a guy who has more hidden secrets than her.
