1. Carmine & Haven from Sempre by JM Darhower

“Grabbing her hand, he pressed it gently to his chest. His skin was warm to the touch, and she could slightly feel his pulse pounding against her palm.
“Do you feel that? I’m not going anywhere, Haven. This is yours.”

2. Matty & Genna from By Any Other Name by JM Darhower

“This is what I want,” he said quietly. “What I get for winning.”
“What?”
“You.”
“You had me,” she whispered, cheeks flushing at the reminder.
“I did,” he agreed. “But the past isn’t what matters. I live in the present, Genna. I live in the NOW. I had you, yeah, but what I want is to HAVE you.”

3. Naz & Karissa from Monster In His Eyes by JM Darhower

“You may growl, and hiss, and meow, and maybe sometimes you bring out those claws, but I know how to make you purr. I’m the king of the jungle. I’m the predator.” “Does that make me your prey?” He shakes his head. “That makes you my queen.”

..are we noticing a theme here? If not, I’ll spell it out. JM DARHOWER IS MY FAVORITE! Basically any couple she has created is considered a favorite. Ok..moving on.

4. Vanessa & Aiden from The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

“I don’t know,” I stuttered, “Do you love me?”
His gaze was so intent the entire world seemed to stop. “You tell me. I never stop thinking about you. I worry about you all the time. Every beautiful thing I see reminds me of you. I can’t finish my practices in Colorado with out wishing you were around,” he said in a steady tone. “You tell me what I feel.”

5. Josh & Nastya from The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay 

“When I look at her now, I think, for just one second, that God doesn’t hate me so much after all.”

---

6. Mara & Noah from The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

“You want me as much as I want you. And all I want is you.”
My tongue warred with my mind. “Today,” I whispered.
Noah stood slowly, his body skimming mine as he rose. “Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever.”

7. Carter & Arizona from Sincerely, Carter by Whitney G.

“You belong to me, Ari, and you always will…
You’re more than ‘just’ my best friend, and I never want to be ‘just friends’ again.”

---

8.  Owen & Auburn from Confess by Colleen Hoover

“He catches my gasp with his mouth, and he picks me up, carrying me out of the shower and straight to the bed. And this time, I don’t get lost in his touch. I don’t get lost in his kiss. I don’t get lost in how it feels when he pushes himself inside me. I don’t feel lost in him at all, because it’s the first time I’ve ever felt like someone truly found me.”

---

9. Will & Hanna from Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren

“I was so lost in love with this girl.”

---

10. Drew & Kate from Tangled by Emma Chase 

“Edward Cullen can take his stupid heroine and OD on it. Kate is my own personal brand of Viagra.”

Review Of Confess by Colleen Hoover

“I’ll love you forever. Even when I can’t.”
“And I’ll love you forever. Even when I shouldn’t.” 

Now that, ladies and gentleman, is how you write a book!

Where do I even begin? Where do I find the words to express such perfection? How does she create these characters you INSTANTLY fall in love with? It’s been a while since I started to read a book, and it sucked me in so much from the start that I wanted to bypass all human interaction until I was finished.

The way the concepts of confessions and fate were woven into the story was genius. I love how the confessions mentioned throughout the story were actual confessions submitted by fans. I absolutely was in awe of the artwork that was featured. And I adored the inner monologues of Owen and Auburn. And the fact that their slight “insta-love” was so believable is a testament to the amazing-ness that is Colleen Hoover’s writing. The way she writes is simply flawless.

“I didn’t think seeing her would hurt this much. Every part of me hurts. My arms ache to hold her. My mouth aches to touch hers. My heart aches to love hers.” 

These characters she created were the most amazing, selfless, lovable characters I have ever come across. I really don’t have any other words to express my love for this book. IT WAS PURE PERFECTION.

“This is what I want you to remember, Auburn,” he says softly. “I don’t want you to remember what it feels like when I’m inside you. I want you to remember how it feels when I look at you.” 

And in the spirit of the confessions theme, here is mine: I kind of hate Colleen Hoover right now, because I truly don’t know how I am going to move on from this book. I may need to read this every day for the rest of my life. In the words of Auburn, I officially have an Owen hangover.
