Plot beats aside, however, Heart Bones is very much a book that’s more focused on character and it’s hard not to warm up to Beyah in this novel. Beyah es muy joven, pero en su corta edad ha tenido que vivir demasiadas malas experiencias y su realidad está muy lejos de ser ni siquiera aceptable. Samson and Beyah seem to be from totally different worlds, but they're more alike then one would think. i really would have liked an epilogue in this, just to see a little glimpse into their future; regardless of this i really enjoyed this read🥰 yet to find a coho book i don’t love! it depends how much you are willing to accept them, to determine whether or not you truly do love them.

There aren’t even many markers of what’s happening in the outside world; Jude moves to a loft in SoHo as a young man, but we don’t see the neighborhood change from gritty artists’ enclave to glitzy tourist destination. like the scene when Samson went down to the beach to watch her play volleyball and cheered her on because he knew no one in her life had ever done that for her, that shit was precious. i didn’t have high expectations for this one given that the author is very controversial, and i have not liked any books that i have read from her as of right now. Beyah's plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan. It comes as a relief that Beyah was even able to contact and go to live with her absent father and his new family I might add.Their attraction was swift, but I loved their strong connection, deep conversations, intense interactions, and their heavy with meaning small touches. The ending was a bit rushed and I don’t know if I would have wanted it to follow a different path but I didn’t feel IT so much there. But as the summer progresses, and she lets her guard down little by little, Beyah realizes that there’s so much about Samson she doesn’t know.

Yet, she can’t deny that there’s something about Samson that intrigues her and the connection between them is too intense to ignore. Peor aún, su padre se casó y tiene que compartir la casa de playa en la que se están quedando por el verano con su esposa y una hermanastra. It felt so good reading and getting hurt by CoHo all over again like when I read Hopeless and Ugly Love. It’s a little slow and a little repetitive but it captures the feeling of a long, lazy summer of opening up and falling in love perfectly, and has just enough emotional turbulence to keep you interested without feeling overblown and completely unrealistic. Heart Bones is ultimately a summer romance story, yes, but one that’s built on top of secrets, class prejudices and troubled characters just trying to do the best they can.she also went through a lot in her years of growing up which has made her persevere with whatever life throws at her. Four years later you can only hope that Beyah was right all along and as we wait with bated breath for Samson to appear will it be everything thing we’ve hoped for. Heart Bones is essentially a beach read, Colleen Hoover style, which means it’s heartbreaking and intense. However Samson does come across as a bit of a mystery there is a constant niggle but you don’t want to even go there as long as Beyah is happy that’s all that matters. I'd seen them everywhere and heard all about her books on BookTok, but still put off picking one up myself.

i really like that all of coho’s books have a life lesson, the take home message in this is to not judge people by their upbringing, social status, wealth (or lack of) and situational circumstances - people do what they gotta do to survive. I gave this a one star review because some people only look for negatives no matter where they are and those people would be missing out on a damn good book. After a less than friendly introduction Beyah and Samson soon became kindred spirits and although Samson was supposedly rich it didn’t get in the way it was his sincerity and good honest nature that shone through and the connection Beyah and Samson shares is beautiful. And it’s on the beach that Beyah learns what it’s like to trust, to love, and be loved, not just with Samson, but with a family she never expected.When I was reading this, it put me in a Lana Del Rey mode and made me think of her album Born to Die, particularly the song “Blue Jeans,” “Dark Paradise,” and “Summertime Sadness. It has been so long since I've sat down and read a full length novel in one sitting, but that is exactly what I did with Heart Bones. When Jude, as an adult, is adopted by his favorite Harvard law professor, his friends join him for Thanksgiving in Cambridge every year. After a childhood filled with poverty and neglect, Beyah Grim finally has her hard-earned ticket out of Kentucky with a full ride to Penn State.

beyah’s reaction to seeing the ocean for the first time was amazing and it brought out another side to her character. In Colleen Hoover Heart Bones we meet Beyah who after unexpected death goes to live her estranged father and falls in love Samson the boy next door. I hate it, because I find myself wishing that the entirety of humanity would suffer just a tiny amount more than they do.Even though pieces of me resemble pieces of them, I’ve never felt like I’ve belonged to either one of them. They both have a lot of secrets, but Beyah can't help but to want to tell all her secrets to Samson and that is very unlike her. In case you DO want a membership, just read this book cause: (1) It’s so sad, it’s a mood; (2) After spending most of the 2nd half chapters sobbing my eyes out, I can confirm that I am now positively ✧ damaged ✧. Beyah is very young, but in her young age she has had to go through too many bad experiences and her reality is far from being even acceptable.
