Review: Heart Bones - Colleen Hoover - August 2020 Beyah has been living her whole life with a mother who has been addicted to drugs and in their small trailer, she hasn't spoken to her father in a long time before she could count on one hand, how many times she had seen him. She doesn't know much about him. His new wife and stepdaughter know more, even his neighbors know more than her about him. When Beyah returns home and finds out her mother has had an overdose and then ends up evicted from their trailer, she needs someone to go to tide her over the last few months before she starts her full-ride scholarship at University. Beyah packs a bag and calls her dad saying she wants to come for a visit. When she arrives, she learns he has married and has a stepdaughter, Sara. Beyah pretends everything is alright and keeps her life a secret from her father. For the next few months, Beyah will learn what it's like to not have to scrounge for the next meal and what it feels like...
