Though maybe this was to show her helplessness with their relationship. Linda (Sherilynn Fenn), acts coolly as she brushes Auburn off several times, refusing to let her see AJ, and scorning Auburn throughout. I do feel like Auburn should have been a bit more sassier with Linda, just because I found many of Auburn’s reactions to Linda annoying and like a child. Rock Myers plays the bastard cop, Trey, pretending he’s doing Auburn favours when he’s disturbingly creepy and greedy with his social power as a police officer. I don’t think there is anything that could make me feel anything but hate for the duo. It was still very true to the book in the case of Trey and Linda. It made the end of that episode anticlimactic and wasn’t as a big moment as I would have liked. She’s got the pressure of everyone around her but seeking the company of Owen Gentry is her first personal choice.īut of course, this creates conflict in what she’s really moved for and her internal battle is shown through unsent text messages. This was a very awkward, especially when it came to the end of the first episode when AJ is introduced. Auburn’s always being told what she needs to do and you can really feel how alone she is because of this.

She is also always with food, which I love more than I should but awkarward+food is also me. She’s awkward and unsure about herself, especially when it comes to Owen. What Katie Leclerc, who plays Auburn Reed in the show, brought forward was better than in the book. She was a bit flat and nothing made her stick. I really didn’t like the book version of Auburn. The actors also did a fabulous job with the script. I am super impressed that Elissa Down, the writer and director, managed to jam the major events in the book into the series. So of course, that’s great and the story arc remains very much the same. The series is made up of seven episodes, each lasting 20 minutes. Confess wasn’t my favourite Hoover novel, so I was less worried about them ‘ruining’ the book and more excited to see how it’s adapted. I tend to tread lightly into adaptations of books, mostly because they are a disappointment.

The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything Auburn loves most, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it-but can she do it? But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to become deeply attracted to the studio’s enigmatic artist, Owen Gentry.įor once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is hiding a huge secret. As a huge fan of Colleen Hoover’s work, I was excited to see the TV adaptation of her ninth novel, Confess.įor a refresh, and for those who haven’t read the book, here’s the summary:Īuburn Reed is determined to rebuild her shattered life and she has no room for mistakes.
