Falling for the Girl Next Door by Tera Lynn Childs
4.0
I didn't read the first book about Sloan and Tru, and felt that I had missed some important back story information. But it didn't stop me from becoming involved in this pair's entanglements. It was great to be able to watch them find strength deep inside them, and be able to work through issues, both individually and as a couple.
I liked that Tru was honest about his problem and tried to fix it. Those first tentative steps alone were harsh, but necessary. While dealing with his drinking issue was handled simply and perhaps too easily, it still showed the obstacles he faced.
But Truman's story is really secondary behind Sloan's crumbling family. She feels a lot of guilt, but that turns to anger and frustration as secrets are revealed. But the family drama feels real, and Sloan's realisation that support is dovetails nicely with Tru's acceptance about the same thing.
I liked seeing all the other characters of the Creative HeArts books. It's a clever intertwining of stories. Copy provided by Netgalley. Released on November 14.
