First Coleen Hoover novel I've read and I now understand her popularity. I enjoyed this book so much I actually wish it was a bit longer so some parts could be explored or expanded further. The confession inspired art was a cool idea and I liked the inclusion of the art images in the book too. I thought Owen and Emory were great, I love their individual dorkiness and found them interesting. The main character I didn't have such a connection with, she was boring and weak and so the strength she finds at the very end doesn't work for me. I really liked how the ending explained the connection, very sweet.
