True by Erin McCarthy
True is an awesome New Adult read. I have never read
anything by Erin McCarthy, but I can now say that I am a fan. I have quickly
fallen in love with the New Adult genre and I am happy I get to read a review
books in this genre. I feel like I have
read enough in this particular genre to give Ms. McCarthy a standing ovation. I
really enjoyed this book and am so excited for the next installment. This gut
wrenching new series follows the lives of a geeky girl and a totally hot guy
and their friends and family during their college years.
Rory Macintosh, a college sophomore and geeky premed student,
inadvertently reveals to her roommates Kylie and Jessica, and their boy toys
Nathan and Tyler, that she is in fact a virgin.
The roommates pull together a plot to help Rory loose her virginity and
gain confidence by hiring Jessica’s friend with benefits Tyler to help her out with her “V” card.
Tyler Mann is a 22 year old tattooed EMT student who is
barely scraping by and his alcoholic mother is no help to him or his 3
brothers. Tyler takes on the parental role of his two
younger brothers one who is “mixed” and the other has Down’s syndrome. The
extra cash that Rory’s roommates are offering will help out with the kids and
bills.
Tyler and Rory dive right in to their relationship and Tyler can not take the
money or her virginity. Rory can’t
believe someone as hot as Tyler could want some nerdy girl like her and Tyler
is torn between bringing Rory into his disheveled life and letting her go for
good.
This whirlwind romance had me from the first page and kept
me turning until the last sentence. I
absolutely loved this book, but did feel the ending was kind of rushed and I
didn’t get the happily ever after that I thought the characters deserved. Then I continued turning and discovered that
this is a series and I fell in love with this writer and this book all over
again. I can always get my happily ever
after in the next chapter of this series.
The obstacles that these characters face are so believable
and I am so sympathetic to their situations; those scenarios really brought me
into this story and made the characters believable. This story really flowed well and readers
will appreciate this well written book.
I give this book a 5 star review. If you are looking for a not so sappy twist
on a love story pick up this book.
