A young adult romance about revealing the darkest secrets, trying to trust again and defining what family means. Stop looking for negatives everywhere and go read this! If you don’t want to read this one, she has a lot of other books out too and you will be a better human for reading them. Or even one. In one way or another she will touch your soul in every book you read by her. I always say that Colleen is the best story-teller and the story that unfolds in Heart Bones is no different from my original statement. 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 With only two short months separating her from the future she's built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. Beyah's plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan.

Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover - Heidi Dischler Book Review: Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover - Heidi Dischler

It feels strange even referring to them as parents. They gave me life, but that’s about the only thing I’ve ever received from them. The love story: Samson and Beyah are interested in each other from the beginning when they see each other on a ferry. Both of them keep nearly everything to themselves and both have endured a lot. The romance is not insta-love and is very romantic. 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.Maybe we did grow heart bones. But what if the only way of knowing you grew a heart bone is by feeling the agony caused by the break?” 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. I didn’t realize what seeing the ocean would mean to me, but now that I’ve seen it, I want every human on earth to experience it. 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.

the plot twist was definitely more easy to stomach in this book. as i’ve said before, i do think that this book is much lighter, simply because it shows how people do bad things, and it doesn’t define them. some people do bad things out of desperation because it’s the only way to survive. it shows that we have to be selfish and own our place in this world which i appreciated. my main problem with coho’s other books was the fact that these toxic mmc’s would do terrible things to the fmc and rather than leaving, they would be given another chance and we are expected to believe they “stay together” for eternity. however, this book did no such thing and rather showed a person just trying to cover up their mistakes from the person they loved as a way to feel accepted and not morally wrong, like how samson knew. also his name being shawn?? it was an unexpected plot point and i felt like it helped build up to the actual plot twist towards the end. Beyah has always made her own path. She’s had no other choice. But with a few months left until college she’s left with nowhere to turn, so she winds up going to spend the summer with her father, whom she barely knows, on a peninsula in Texas. The writing is good as always. Never a dull moment but yes, the explicit scenes go on and on and on like it fills up some chapters entirely towards the second half of the book when all I needed was answers and more character development and secret revelations. And yes, it didn't do much in the end. And yes, expect lots of drama towards the end.On the surface, they have nothing in common. Drawn to each other by the secrets and troubled pasts they see hiding behind their eyes, they start to develop a relationship. One that will end in ruins if they’re not careful. What mystery are they afraid to reveal? Who do you think is going to break first? My review will not be long for this one. Period. Because I think every one should go into this book as blind as I did. You will thank me later for this plain and generic review. 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. I know the characters aren't our typical romcom fluffy romantic characters as it always have been with CoHo's books.
