After reading Regretting You last year, and totally and madly falling in love with it, I was wondering it it was a fluke or if I’m turning into a Colleen Hoover fan. And it’s now official, I’m really loving her latest books.

Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah’s parents ever gave her. Forced to carve her own path alone, 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 for herself and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim.
Forced to call her last resort, Beyah has no other option than 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 THOUGHTS & REVIEW

And Colleen Hoover did it again!!!!

Heart Bones was such a wonderful, emotional, but also touching YA/NA contemporary romance novel. When I read Regretting You last year, I loved the YA part so much that I hoped the author would write a YA novel, and as if Colleen Hoover heard me, she wrote one.

I feel like Heart Bones would be perfect for anyone loving KA TUCKER novels. It was heart-felt, beautifully written, and just the right book to escape in. The main characters were relatable, likable and secretive. And I loved how they both slowly opened up to each other. The story on its own was one AWESOME beach read! Because of it I want to spent a summer on the beach, staying in a stilt house, exploring the dunes, going swimming at night (or not). It all sounded so charming and relaxing, and something I could definitely see myself doing.

I read Heart Bones in one day, and loved it all. Honestly there was nothing I didn’t love about this book. And not surprisingly, I’m already impatiently awaiting Colleen Hoover’s next contemporary romance. Because, if she writes books like this, I’m signing up for them all.

A BEST BOOK OF 2020
