Title: Heart Bones
Author: Colleen Hoover
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: August 19, 2020
Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah Grim's parents ever gave her. After carving her path all on her own, Beyah is well on her way to bigger and better things, thanks to no one but herself.
With only two short months separating her from the future she's built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. Beyah's plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan.
Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface.
She comes from a life of poverty and neglect; he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. But one thing they do have in common is that they're both drawn to sad things. Which means they're drawn to each other. With an almost immediate connection too intense for them to continue denying, Beyah and Samson agree to stay in the shallow end of a summer fling.
What Beyah doesn't realize is that a rip current is coming, and it's about to drag her heart out to sea.
Samson’s knee brushes high up on my inner thigh and I’m glad he can’t see anything from my chin down, because my body is covered in chills right now.
I didn’t think there were many people in the world like me, he says. You think we’re alike? I want to laugh at that comparison, but there’s not an ounce of humor in his expression.
I believe we have a lot more in common than you think we do, Beyah. You think you’re as alone in this world as I am? He folds his lips together and nods his head, and it’s the most honest thing I’ve ever seen.
I never would have thought someone so well off could have a life as shitty as mine, but I can see it in the way he’s looking at me. Everything about him suddenly seems familiar to me.
He’s right. We are alike, but only in the saddest ways. My voice comes out in a whisper when I say, When I first met you on that ferry, I could tell you were damaged. There’s a flicker of something in his eyes as he tilts his head to the right. You think I’m damaged? Yes.
He moves even closer in the water, but there wasn’t much space left between us to begin with. It’s deliberate, and so much of me is touching so much of him now. You’re right, he says quietly, slipping a hand around the back of my left knee.
There’s nothing left of me but a fucking pile of debris. He pulls me to him, wrapping both my legs around him. That’s all he does, though. He doesn’t try to kiss me. He just connects us together as if that’s enough while our arms keep us both afloat.
I’m swiftly succumbing to him. I don’t know in what way. All of them, maybe. Because right now, I need him to do something else. Anything else. Taste me. Touch me. Drag me under.
We watch each other for a moment and it’s almost like looking into a broken mirror. He leans in slowly, but not toward my mouth. He presses his lips against my shoulder, so gentle it feels like a graze.
I close my eyes and inhale. I’ve never felt anything so sensual. So perfect.
