Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah's parents ever gave her.

It features a strong story element but unfortunately, the romance doesn't deliver the emotional punch as promised.Published by Audible Studios on August 19, 2020 Heart Bones is heavy on the angst and mystery. Their relationship had such a full circle moment, and unexpectedly brought me to tears. The only time I cried during this book was because of them. Another relationship that I enjoyed with the friendship between Samson and Majorie. I found that intriguing, and I like how the book didn’t paint them rivals or enemies. Immediately, in the book, Sara becomes someone that Beyah is honest with. Those relationships spoke to me more on an emotional level and I found myself wishing for their development throughout the book.įor example, I enjoyed Beyah’s relationship with her step-sister. I found myself getting more connected to Beyah and Samson’s relationship with other people rather than their relationship with each other. And unfortunately, the romance part is my least favorite part of the book. It was a pleasant surprise with enough story to keep me interested. She is drawn to him and the overall mystery of him. Whereas, she comes from a life of poverty and neglect, he was born in a family of wealth and privilege. She plans to lay low until the summer is up however, she meets Samson. That reality comes sooner than she expected when she ends up in Texas with her father, whom she hasn’t seen or communicated with in two years. I decided to give it a chance.īeyah’s mission in life is to get away from Kentucky and her drug addicted mother. I picked up Heart Bones one day after I scrolled through goodreads and I saw it several times.

Her books started to feel like they were following the same formula. There was a time in my life where I would devour each and every book of hers.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve read a Colleen Hoover book.
