The Truth About Us by Megan D. MartinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
There were things that I loved about this book and things that I didn't. I'll start with what I did like: I liked the interaction between Tyler and Rowen. It was clear that they still had feelings for one another and were drawn towards each other in a way that they just couldn't resist. I wanted to know what was going to happen and of course, I wanted to see them back together. I liked all of that.
Unfortunately, where the book fell short was mostly to do with the conclusion. Throughout the book, we'd had them pushing and pulling towards and away from one another. Unable to finish, but unable to get back together. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the end appeared. It was almost as though the author couldn't decide how to get them back together, so she just missed that bit. It was completely unexpected and after the build up in the rest of the novel left me feeling a bit flat. The big reveal about why they had broken up before also seemed a bit silly. I just don't think that someone would do that.
I also wasn't thrilled by the way secondary characters were treated. Tyler's treatment of his girlfriend was terrible and both his friends and her friends seemed pretty horrid.
I did want to know what was going to happen in this book and I enjoyed much of the early part. I think that this made the end even more of a let down than it otherwise would have been. What a shame.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
