![]() ![]() ![]() This is sure to scratch an itch for fans of dark, soapy romance. Sexy, brooding Samson, especially, is just the kind of hero Hoover readers thirst for. Hoover goes thick on the pathos, and tenderhearted readers will ache for both protagonists. Samson is not what he seems, however, and when the police come calling, secrets come out all around-most notably about Samson’s and Beyah’s tragic pasts. ![]() So it was beyond clever that Colleen Hoover found a way to make even the simplest saying into something poetic. Because we all say they broke my heart, but hearts don’t have bones. After a hungry childhood spent fending for herself for basic necessities, Beyah doesn’t want any messy emotional ties, but she soon forms a tight bond with her new stepsister, Sara, and falls for the wealthy but haunted next-door neighbor, Shawn Samson. One of the other conversations that was wholesome between Beyah and Samson was the heart bones. After recent high school graduate Beyah Grim’s neglectful mother dies of a drug overdose in their Kentucky trailer park, Beyah, in need of a place to stay for the summer before she heads off to Penn State on a volleyball scholarship, reaches out to her estranged father, Brian, but she’s unprepared for her father’s swanky new life in the Houston suburbs. Bestseller Hoover ( It Starts with Us) delivers an angsty and somewhat overwrought new adult romance. ![]()
