What's Not True by Valerie Taylor

4.0

I don’t think this novel could have been more aptly named. Although this novel is part of a series, it held its own as a standalone and I thoroughly enjoyed the novel without feeling I was missing background, or important information. Although this is a hot mess of what usually goes on with high school dating except these are grown adults with rings on their fingers.

Kassie’s impending divorce is soon approaching and she is already getting herself all tied up in another knot. But things are different this time and Chris seems changed. Maybe things will work out for the better and this time there does not have to be secrets kept from anyone- the truth can be shown and no one can say anything. They’re little stowaway vacation gets cut short when Kassie and Chris both gets calls- Mike is the in hospital.

Karen has finally gotten Mike to propose, not what she would have pictured but it has been done and once his and Kassie’s divorce is finalized they can be officially married. This is what she has been working at, getting Mike to commit- she did save his life after all and risked hers – what more could be expected.

Mike things maybe he’s made the wrong choice. He thought he was happy and doing what was right until he saw Karen suspicions were confirmed. Now what is he supposed to do? He isn’t so sure divorcing Kassie is the right thing anymore, although he did sink that boat but he knows that Karen is not wanting marriage for love- so what is the driving force of everything, greed.

With Mike having a heart attack and ending up the in the hospital it gave a scare for all. Karen needs to do all she can to help Mike recuperate and marry her, Kassie is really thinking through things- life with Chris, the impending divorce and now a DNA test has drawn out even more of a tangled mess and those who should have been surprised are seeming to have known along.

If you are looking for a fun, laid back, soap opera of a read novel- these are your books. They made me laugh, forget about life a little and made me realize how complicated adults can really make things- if we all just took the advise we teach our kids- and tell the truth- things wouldn’t get so tangled up! Thank you to the author for the free novel, and to Suzy Approved Book Tours for the invite.
