One Hurricane. Two Strangers. No Rules.

Hannah Adamson was immune to relationships. Swearing men off long ago, she buried her painful reasons under her feisty independence and a passion for roller derby. Until she met Ed and was swept away by the tall, witty, sarcastically sexy best man who might just be the one to have the antidote for her runaway heart.

Ed Alcott wasn’t looking for love, especially not after a particularly nasty breakup left him with a shattered heart in desperate need of repair.

Taking shelter together when a hurricane bears down on Rum Cay, Hannah and Ed find they can't fight their growing attraction. It was supposed to be simple. Easy. A weekend of passion with no strings. But how do you forget the one who stripped away all your layers, and haunts your dreams?

Can Hannah keep the scattered pieces of her heart in check, or will the promise of Ed’s love be enough to mend them back together?

"The Lies About Truth" Review

Here's a quick book review for you guys! I read "The Lies About Truth" for my friend Jaclyn (Living in a World of Book Quotes) and I sent my review to her to post on her blog, so I decided I would post it here as well!



My Favorite Quotes
:

-No one talked about the questions, because talking ruined plausible deniability. Talking burst the bubble of innocence. Talking ended the happily ever after. These were the truths they believed. And they were lies.

-All I wanted to do was put this thing in the past, and now...it's messier than ever.

-"Lots of cool people have scars."
"Like you," I said, trying to pay him a compliment.
"Like Seal, and Tina Fey, and...Jesus."

-Sometimes a small thing is bigger than a big thing.

-The truth was finally a beautiful thing.

My Review:

As this story opened, beginning with the mention of scars, I was immediately drawn in, instantly relating to Sadie in the fact that I have body image issues, and plenty of scars to attest to that, although mine were self-inflicted. However, although our stories were different, I was still captivated by the sheer beauty of the book, of how raw and real and truly eye-opening it was. The subtle touches of innocent, young love offered a refreshing touch of light-heartedness that allowed the book to not be depressing while relating back to healing after a loss. Sadie struggles with forgiving not only others, but herself as well, and her journey to realizing that forgiveness is simply allowing her bitterness to fade away is something I haven't seen portrayed so clearly and beautifully in a book in a long time. None of the scenarios felt forced, or fake, or even perfect. All of the scenes were human: the love was awkward, friendships were tense and on the brink of doom, and family ties were sometimes just a bit annoying. I loved this book, and I don't think I could ever get enough of Courtney's flawless writing.

Rating:

5 out of 5 stars!
