The Truth about Us by Janet Gurtler
5.0
So. Freaking. Good.
I really loved this book. I went into it thinking it was going to be just another, clique Teen Romance novels, but it was so much better than that.
The plot was amazing. I loved how it all played out, and how I couldn't put it down because I was so into it. I seriously loved how things happened; it didn't go too slow or too fast. It had everything I wanted to read about; forbidden love, angst, betrayal, great friendships, and family issues. The end happened a bit too fast, but other than that, I loved every part of this book.
The characters were so amazing!
Jess was awesome. I mean, she was pretty spoiled, but she'd been going through so much, and it was great to see her progress throughout the book. She did have spirit and wit and a lot of courage. I completely fell in love with her.
Then...there's Flynn. Oh my God. I totally loved him. He was so kind and caring, and incredibly hot. I liked how protective he was. Now, towards the end, he did make some bad decisions that made me like him less, but still...I enjoyed him for the most part.
The side characters were written very well. I loved Penny and Braxton. They pretty cool. And, I thought the Jess's dad really manned up later on, and that her mom started to get better.
So, overall, totally loved this book and will definitely be reading more from this author.
