True Love Story by Willow Aster

5.0

4.5 stars! Wow! (Spoilers ahead)


I stayed up till 2:00 AM reading this book. Despite some of the spoilers I read, I knew from the get-go what this book was going to be about. I cried for the last hour of the book and while I understand some reviewers feelings towards the big elephant in the room. I felt that the author handled this topic wonderfully. Like the title, this was not a true love story. I know that in romance novels we expect the HEA with the H always being faithful and true to the h but it was so refreshing to see a relationship and those individuals make mistakes like real people. I don’t condone cheating and trust me, I was shocked and appalled at Ian for what he did and for how long it went on. I wish it was just a one time thing, but sadly it was not. The author has me rooting for him though with his persistence, honesty, and how he never gave up on Sparrow. He truly did love her and despite his reasonings for cheating, I really believe he did deserve a second chance.
