Heart Bones

I’ve read several Colleen Hoover books so when I had several hours of drive time alone I thought I’d try an audiobook. I can’t decide if my average ratings are because of the narration or the story itself but I didn’t connect at all with the narrator. It felt all wrong so there were times where I just couldn’t get as I to the story as I do when I’ve read books by the same author.

Sometimes I can’t read a book because of the awful narration, but Angela Goethals is excellent (and happens to be the same narrator of Maybe Someday). The storyline was awesome too; I had no idea the story line would turn the way it did. I love Colleen Hoover’s books!!!

Another great read by the amazing Colleen Hoover.Once again she left me with so many feels.I do feel this book may be geared to more of a teen crowd but I still loved it nonetheless and felt the writing was fantastic and told a great story.I felt so much while reading this book.Beyah and Samson were created so well that I could vividly see them and feel everything they went through.My heart broke but it also exploded with joy.Beyah goes through so much in the pages of this book and does so much growing up while simultaneously getting to act like the teenager she is.

I sat on this review for a little while because I wasn’t sure what to say.I still don’t, but I think its because, honestly, I forgot what the story was about after reading several other books since.Again, I love Colleen Hoover and her stories, especially her early ones.This one didn’t pull at my heart bones like I though it would.I liked the story and enjoyed it, but it didn’t stand out for me like her other works did.If I had started to read Colleen at this point, I may not have read her other stuff, simply because the genre has jaded me.I am not detoured though as not every book is going to be stellar.This narrator I have heard many many times. I have no complaints. She is good for this genre.

I’m 49 and this book totally annoyed me. It was drenched in adolescent angst and despair, which for me, who’s in the middle of raising 3 teenaged daughters, it was difficult to get through. I kept wanting to shout SERIOUSLY Colleen Hoover? She’s written much better than this! The performance was okay, but the narrator’s voice was completely depressing and stoic. The whole thing together just wasn’t for me

This story... I was listening on the way to work and tears were falling down my face. It’s heart wrenching in the BEST possible way.Colleen knows how to tell a story so rich and complex, yet you feel you could know these people. You care about these characters. One of my top 10 all time listens for sure.

I love that you never know what to expect from a Colleen Hoover storyline but the love connection is just as deep in all of her books.There are so many layers to this story and my heart felt like it was in a vice grip most of the time from pain, sadness, hope, love and pride. Assume your favorite reading position, avoid any distractions and sink into this book.

So many words to describe the way this book gave me feels.Beyah is one of my most favorite characters ever. A real life super hero who overcomes the evil in her world and came out victorious as a good human.Heartwarming, heart wrenching, beautifully tragic with a happily ever after...my favorite kind of story! I hope they make this a movie🤞🏼🎥

What I enjoy most about Colleen Hoover books is that she doesn't need to waste time on incorporating erotica into the material. Her characters are well-developed. The relationships she builds don't need to rely on explicit sex for the story to unfold beautifully. There is depth in her storylines, depth in her characters. She slowly unfolds a beautiful story. After reading a Colleen Hoover title, it's so hard to go back to reading a subpar books that contains more explicit sex than it does story. Kudos to Colleen for finding that perfect balance and masterfully weaving a wonderful tale that stays in the readers' mind for quite a spell.

I was excited for something new from CH because she’s one of my favorite authors but this is one of my least favorite narrators so it ruined it for me. Everything she says is breathy and dramatic....(in her breathy and overly dramatic voice).....”I said No Pepper Jack Cheese.... you cannot have another treat...(dramatic pause and sigh)....as he looks back at me with pure doggy despair in his eyes....”Nope. Sorry. Can’t.
