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. In August, I’ll be out of this life, and it won’t be because of anything my mother did for me, or because my father bailed me out of here. It’ll be because of me.

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. I’ve never felt more myself than when I was with you that summer. That’s exactly who I want to be. Forever.” 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!!

I feel like it's best to go into this book not knowing a whole lot, as I'd say it is for most of Colleen Hoover books. This book is sad and devastating, Beyah experiences a lot of tragedy and hard times at such a young age and these experiences have shaped her as a person. I adored her step-sister Sara in this book, and Samson was frustrating at first but he also grew on me as the book progressed. This book is everything you'd expect from a Colleen Hoover book, it's sad as hell, it'll make you cry, it has dark characters with mysterious pasts, etc. But some scenes in this book really touched me and I won't forget about those scenes anytime soon. like the scene when Samson went down to the beach to watch her play volleyball and cheered her on because he knew no one in her life had ever done that for her, that shit was precious. I also loved how he would set an alarm on her phone and they'd watch the sunrise together, that was adorable too. I would certainly have an interest in dark shady (yes, shady 😑) characters like Samson but he's the cutest sht ever when he makes up his mind to do his best for the one he cares about. beyah’s mother was a shitty person. i’ll give her that, and the idea that she never tried to step up and be a parent just infuriated me. and beyah calling her mom by her real name really shows how their dynamic was. however, i am so proud of beyah for getting over the situation and embracing what happened. i felt like it started to dragged on when she refused to tell her dad about her mother’s passing but i did like the outcome once it was revealed. and in part i think she helped beyah learn that her mom had a choice in the path of her life and samson had none. Heart Bones is more beach read than the book Beach Read itself. It’s glum, full of doom and gloom aura AND is actually set on a beach with characters actively spending time there watching sunrises and sunsets. So if you love Beach Read, definitely read this.

It’s the first sunset I’ve ever felt this deep in my chest. I feel my eyes begin to tear up at the sheer beauty of it.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 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. She’s not planning to let anyone in. She just needs a place to stay. And then she meets Samson, the best friend of her stepsister’s boyfriend. The two are drawn to one another but Beyah feels ill-at-ease around him, partially because they are so different on the surface: Samson is a child of wealth and privilege, while Beyah has known mostly neglect and poverty.

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. Este libro, a pesar de no ser uno realmente memorable, es intenso. Beyah es muy joven, pero en su corta edad ha tenido que vivir demasiadas malas experiencias y su realidad está muy lejos de ser ni siquiera aceptable. Beyah en el ferry de camino a la casa de la playa conoce a Samson, joven, hermoso, mujeriego y rico, pero ella puede notar que está tan roto como ella. Tienen un primer encuentro muy malo lo que hace que los siguientes encuentros sean igual de malos. Ella se quiere resistir a ser uno más de los ligues del verano de Samson, pero la atracción que sienten es indiscutible y se dan cuenta que tienen mucho en común, pero sus destinos están demasiados separados.This story was different than any I had read before. It’s funny how in romance there are so many plots and tropes that are used over and over again and we can still like them, because the minutia is different. The interactions between the characters is different in each one. In this book both Samson and Beyah had secrets about their pasts. Beyah started opening up to Samson right away because she saw him as a kindred spirit. Maybe the only reason I wasn’t accepted is because I didn’t want to be. It was easier to stay to myself.
