The confessions you read within this novel are true confessions, submitted anonymously by readers. No clue… and I was riveted by this dedication by the author. Yep! I went into this one absolutely blind. Why? ‘Cause in this case, what he’s thinking… what he’s keeping a secret, even from us, is HUGE, and so integral to the * oomph* of the story. Colleen’s signature quirky-but-relatable characters, tons of realistic backstory, an exciting “current” story, and POV’s from both that totally worked for me. It has everything we absolutely love from her. This is PURE Colleen Hoover magic again, my friends!! There is just SO MUCH meaning to everything she writes, delivered through characters, no… people, just like us.

And we went on this big trip, and we got to London and I’d never been to London before. And in the weeks before the Tutankhamun exhibition there was a lot on the television, really good quality programming about Tutankhamun and about ancient Egypt, and we did projects at school. And the school chartered a train, and the entire school got on the train, and we all went to London to see it.
