Review: Heart Bones - Colleen Hoover
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 to be loved and not neglected. What
it's like not to be in poverty but to live in comfort and a loving home. Next
door, she meets Samson who has a dark secret. He has everyone fooled into
believing he is wealthy and just looking after his father's rental home, but
what happens when his real life catches up with him and that all is not what it
seems and he may understand Beyah more than she or anyone ever suspects? This
one of Colleen Hoover's reminded me of her book Without Merit.
