  • Skip if: you find secret-keeping as a plot device frustrating

About This Audiobook

Auburn Reed arrives in Dallas with nothing to show for a grief-filled few years and needs a job badly. When she walks into an artist's studio run by the intense and enigmatic Owen Gentry, the attraction is immediate and inconvenient. As their relationship deepens, Owen's past, which he has kept deliberately opaque, begins to surface in ways that threaten everything Auburn has quietly been working to rebuild in her life. Colleen Hoover's 2015 Goodreads Choice Award winner is a romance built around the tension between the heart's appetite for connection and the mind's knowledge that some truths must be faced before love can hold.

Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York share the narration, with Louise voicing Auburn's perspective and York taking Owen's, a dual-narrator approach that gives the story its alternating intimacy. Both performers lean into the emotional directness that characterizes Hoover's prose, and the chemistry between the two voices makes the romance feel earned rather than convenient. At under eight hours, Confess moves quickly, and the audio format suits Hoover's immersive, close-perspective style well.
