my main problem with coho’s other books was the fact that these toxic mmc’s would do terrible things to the fmc and rather than leaving, they would be given another chance and we are expected to believe they “stay together” for eternity. Pegging the guy as a rich douchebag, Beyah soon realizes there's more to him that he lets on and that despite his purported wealth he is just as damaged as her. Throughout the course of the novel, Beyah’s storyline offers a lot familiar beats; her temporary move to Texas brings with it the opportunity to begin to put her troubled past behind her, meet new people and build a relationship with her father, his wife and Sara, her new stepsister. But with their upcoming futures sending them to opposite ends of the country, the two decide to maintain only a casual summer fling.

It’s glum, full of doom and gloom aura AND is actually set on a beach with characters actively spending time there watching sunrises and sunsets.The atmosphere of the novel, set mostly on this wild Greek island, echoes strongly the classical tragedies of Greece. It is the story of a boy and girl who face extreme financial and familial deprivations from childhood and had to do things not-right to make themselves survive. Here's the description: "Meredith's family's annual game of assassin at Martha's Vineyard during a summer wedding is the perfect chance to honor her sister's legacy, and finally join the world again. I hate it, because I find myself wishing that the entirety of humanity would suffer just a tiny amount more than they do. Despite my grievances or it could be because of my period and I’m hormonal, this book made me so emotional I hurt and I cried.

Samson and Beyah seem to be from totally different worlds, but they're more alike then one would think. I was wondering what kind of secrets Samson could be holding onto and was close to getting frustrated because so many times in books we see people keeping secrets and there is this back and forth with one character trying to keep secrets and the other trying to find them.The novel starts off with a murder, and with seven people trapped on an isolated Greek island lashed by a "wild, unpredictable Greek wind. he was a perfect father, and he lived in a stable home with a stable family, but wasn’t willing to participate in beyah’s life. i’ll give her that, and the idea that she never tried to step up and be a parent just infuriated me. I would’ve loved to see how Beyah removed her animosity towards Brian and how they repaired their relationship. And since the only requirement I have for beach reads is that it takes place on the beach, this book worked for me!

Just graduated from high school and two months away from going to college with a scholarship she got with the volleyball team, when she arrives at the trailer where she lives with her mother, she finds her dead of an overdose. Heart Bones is a story with an incredible prose, interesting characters with secrets you won't guess, and a truly stunning love story when it comes down to it.I adored her step-sister Sara in this book, and Samson was frustrating at first but he also grew on me as the book progressed. She taught herself to use a stove at age 6 and did whatever was necessary throughout her life to make sure there was food on the table. Moving, passionate, and unforgettable, Colleen Hoover's novel follows two young adults from completely different backgrounds embarking on a tentative romance, unaware of what the future holds. Now, at 19, she has a volleyball scholarship waiting for her in Pennsylvania, but with her mother dying of an overdose and nowhere to go, she’s forced to live with her estranged father.
