WELCOME TO THE MOST UNDERRATED COHO BOOK! 

I just … am endlessly crying over auburn and owen 😭 

after auburn’s first love passes away at the age of 16, she meets owen in a chance of fate situation that leaves her breathless … and left me SOBBING! 

everything about their relationship was so perfect but at the wrong time, and it had me screaming into the pages of this novel. as usual, coho has gorgeous writing that intertwines the love, despair, tension, and heartbreak so effortlessly!!

coho always handles the most sensitive topics so graciously, and CONFESS was no different. auburn’s relationships with her “family” were so devastating to watch, and it really touched on personal situations of my own to connect and reflect upon. and I think that’s why coho books touch the lives of so many - because we can sympathize and reflect upon our own by recognizing parts of ourselves in her novels 🤍

and can we talk about how coho used ACTUAL anonymous posts for her confessions in the book? 🥹🫶🏼 (we all should have an outlet like owen’s studio) 

this book has a TON of trigger warnings, which I will post at the bottom of this review for anyone interested, so please make sure to verify before reading! 

this is probably my new favorite book in coho’s collection, so do NOT sleep on this one! 🤌🏼
