Heart Bones is a story about two young adults, Beyah and Samson, from completely different backgrounds who meet on summer break and embark on a tentative romance. Don’t be put off by the age of the main characters, this isn’t your typical young adult book, it’s much grittier and more suited to an adult audience.
The book is quite fast paced and hooks you from the start. For a lot of the book there’s no big drama happening, but I still found myself drawn in following Beyah as she adjusts to living with her father and his family by the beach. Then, there’s a really good twist that I definitely didn’t see coming, though the story does build you up to knowing there is going to be a big reveal.
I really enjoyed this book, and it has made me want to investigate other titles written by Colleen Hoover. I know the book she’s best known for is It Ends With Us so I’ll probably start there, but you can find a full list of her titles here https://www.colleenhoover.com/.
