The Truest Thing by Samantha YoungMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review.
Samantha Young is an amazing, talented author that sucks me into her novels and makes me feel all of the emotions her characters feel. And The Truest Thing is a whirlwind of emotions from start to finish.
Jack and Emery... this romance was 9 years in the making and all fans of this series are going to be ecstatic to see how this relationship pans out. This is one of the best slow burn romance novels I've read, and 9 years is an insane amount of time to feel an attraction to someone and not try for a relationship. I'm not sure how they did it, to be honest.
And Jack. My God, he is such a selfless person, giving up everything that made him happy to keep everyone safe. It was heartbreaking to witness, but it explains so much of why Jack did the things he did.
Usually I am not a fan of a book going through different time periods, but not only did it help the reader understand Jack and Emery's past, it was done in a way that wasn't awkward, like many I've read. Each chapter delves further and deeper into this unique, soul deep romance between these two characters that will make you wonder why it took them so long to finally be together with the connection these two have.
I love how Emery grows throughout this novel. She was one of my favors as a side character because she owned a bookshop and I love books. But she was so uber shy, and throughout this book she grows so much bolder and speaks her mind, which I loved so much.
There are not enough words to describe how amazing this book was to me and it will definitely be one that I read again and again. I'm holding there are more books in the works for this series?!? Cat and Ivy?! That would make me so excited!
I'm so so so glad I got a chance to read this eARC and I cannot wait for more amazing books by Samantha Young to be released :)
