The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Verity and It Ends With Us delivers another breathtaking novel with a magnetic suspense that will keep you glued to the pages.

Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah Grim's parents ever gave her. After carving her path all on her own, Beyah is well on her way to bigger and better things, thanks to no one but herself.

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.

Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface.

She comes from a life of poverty and neglect; he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. But one thing they do have in common is that they're both drawn to sad things. Which means they're drawn to each other. With an almost immediate connection too intense for them to continue denying, Beyah and Samson agree to stay in the shallow end of a summer fling. What Beyah doesn't realize is that a rip current is coming, and it's about to drag her heart out to sea.

My Rating: 5 Stars
Tropes: New Adult Romance

If you’ve read or plan to read this book remember this: Colleen Hoover has hit the romance JACKPOT again with this timely, emotional, and incredibly uplifting novel. I can easily say that after reading and loving nearly all of Hoover’s novels that she is one of the most gifted authors I’ve had the pleasure of reading. She takes real life scenarios and turns them into stories of overcoming demons and finding oneself amidst the chaos. She writes her books from the heart and manages to capture the magic of every romance she produces- she’s an incredible storyteller and I am grateful I took a chance on her novels a few years ago.

This story is a bit different than her other novels in terms of plot, but much the same in terms of delivering the feels. Heart Bones is a new adult romance that centers around two teens who have lived a life no one can fathom (unless they’ve lived through the mess themselves). She immersed me into a culture I’ve thankfully never had to experience, and made it feel all the more real despite my inability to fully relate. This is also a story that magnifies the theory that the choices we make, make us into the people we are today. Life is a series of choices and we can choose to stay with the hardships or find something better. It’s not easy, and this is directly shown through this novel, but it is possible. You’ll learn that and so much more in this emotionally charged novel of love, secrets, half-truths, and time.

Bravo, Colleen Hoover for writing another book that completely consumed me from beginning to end. Keep on writing these gorgeous novels because they truly have the power to shape and change we see the world
