Review
Truly was a book that is hard to rate. But despite one scene, I absolutely adored this book.
In Truly, there was a part early on that a lot of people, including myself, are likely uncomfortable with. However, I would argue it made sense for the story and the characters. There were a lot of twists and turns in this story that kept the story interesting. Some things I saw coming, some things I should have seen coming, and others that blew my mind a little. While that was wonderful, it was the characters that made me love this book.
Truly, is a strong and independent heroine. And despite his many flaws, I loved Noah. He was such a complex character, and I loved seeing him grow. The ending was wonderful, and getting to see Noah’s character arch was one of my favorite parts. While the relationship between Noah and Truly is volatile, I loved seeing their interactions. How they both made each other grow.
I really enjoyed this read and will certainly be reading more Carmel Rhodes books!
