Oh summer's almost over and I'm crying but I don't know why: HEART BONES.

Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Oh, I can't help it, sometimes I just need an addictive, palate-cleansing read. Enter: Colleen Hoover.

Beyah grew up dirt poor, "raised" by her addict mom. Her father was a shadowy figure in her life--paying their rent and known to Beyah only from the occasional visit. When Beyah's mom overdoses and dies, Beyah goes to live with her father in Texas. He's now remarried to a wealthy woman, living in a beach house by the ocean, with a stepdaughter.

In Texas, Beyah meets Samson, her father's next door neighbor. In Samson, she recognizes another damaged soul, even if he is wealthy. Despite putting up walls her entire life, Beyah can't resist Samson, nor he her.

This story is cheesy and addictive, but it's crazily impossible to put down. Both Beyah and Samson are keeping secrets, and we slowly learn Samson's over the course of the story. There's just something about their intense relationship. Beyah also forges new bonds with her dad and stepsister, Sara, who is close to her age. It's corny at times, but also a story about trusting yourself, finding your person, and how powerful it is to be believed in.
