Since I literally just finished reading and am now trying to write this review, my emotions are still very much all over the place.
This story has its share of heavy topics and it riles you up for good.
One moment you're head over heals in love with Owen, and the next you want to throw up and hit Trey hard on the face with a brick.
It's a complex book in a way, because I've felt like it dealt with different kinds of love and how such love makes people act in different situations. It also shows how family relationships can change and get affected when there's life-altering moments.
Auburn is stronger than she seems and sometimes it's easy to forget that she's only 21. I was a little bit frustrated with her at some point - but I admit my opinion might be slightly "uninformed" since I don't have children and therefore cannot say that her decisions were right or wrong since I can't put myself in her shoes (and yes, I know this is fiction but still) - but at the end she pleasantly surprised me.
The artwork is breathtaking and it adds so much to the story! Every painting kept me glued to its page for several minutes and some of the confessions were hard to read.
Again, I've surrendered to another Colleen book and it became officially impossible to resist.
