November 9 by Colleen Hoover – Review by Colleen Noyes

November 9November 9 by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

November 9 by Colleen Hoover takes you on a beautiful journey that lasts over several years. It makes you wonder if a love story like that actually exists and it makes you question would you be able to make the sacrifices that they did?

Fallon is a young girl who has suffered a tragedy that makes her question everything about herself. She has lost all self-confidence and I think in some ways has even lost her will to live and it makes you question how you would handle such a tragedy.

Benton seems to be too good to be true with his kindness, his confidence, and his saving the day personality. What you end up learning about him in the end was gut wrenching and you will feel it in your core. The tragedies that he suffers broke my heart and you come to realize just what those tragedies did to him.

This book threw me for a loop when encountered with shocking information. No spoilers but be prepared to have your mouth hanging open and saying to yourself what the heck did I just read.

This author always keeps me captivated and while I am new to her books this third one took me to a whole new level and I cannot wait to appreciate so much more of her work. She is clearly a brilliant and talented author and I was thrilled to know that she does such an extensive amount of charity work. I love reading a good fiction book but I hands-down adore reading a good fiction book from an author who gives back so much.

Confess by Colleen Hoover – Review by Colleen Noyes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Confess by Colleen Hoover is an easy four-star read. My heart basically broke from the first chapter for Auburn and all that she had to encounter at such a young age. The way the story weaves the lives of Auburn, Adam, Owen, and the remaining characters was done exceptionally well. I really liked Emory and how feisty and full of spit and vinegar she was.

Watching the tug and pull that Auburn has where each male character is concerned was realistic but also stressful for her as a person. It’s never easy having to decide what is best for the people in your life and what sacrifices you may have to make. The pain that Owen experiences with the nonexistent relationship him and his father has can be understood by anybody with the same demons his dad has.

The character of Trey is just a manipulative, control freak, piece of garbage. I enjoyed seeing how his character arc was resolved. If you enjoy a story with Angst, tearjerker moments, and selflessness where love is concerned than you will enjoy the story as much as I did.

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover – Review by Colleen Noyes

Reminders of HimReminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first Colleen Hoover book (I know I know I know). 10% in an I am already bawling, tears streaming down my face like I am Kenna and can feel everything she is going through, the self torture, the pain, the struggle, the fear. This book already has me by the eyeballs and I can’t put it down.

I can not with Kenna’s mother. All of the history that Kenna describes breaks my heart. As a parent how could you ever be like that with your child? A part of you?

Like Kenna and Ledger in this story I am so torn. I can feel every single thing, I found myself crying and not realizing I was crying. I found myself holding my breath, waiting on pins and needles, I found myself shaking my head and my heart filling with so much pain, empathy, and frustration for what they must be going through. Each of them.

This book deals with love, heartache, betrayal, grief in more ways than one, regret, and so much more. I could not put it down and by the end it left me way beyond spent. I can not wait to devour all of Colleen Hoover’s Books. If you love a good tear jerker book, with heartache and romance then grab this asap.
