This is a great story with the author cleverly showing what can happen when legalistic Christianity sneaks in.  Though this is not a Christian book, many bible verses are used in a way similar to some teachings.  This in turn makes for a pastor who is a twisted church leader, and really, not what Christianity is suppose to be about.Grace, Erica, and Jude, once roommates and friends take turns narrating individual chapters with each telling their own story.  In college, Jude was the party girl. Grace was anything but her own namesake and  trying to be as inconspicuous as possible despite her height. Erica was pretty outspoken and made friends with Grace, not for what Grace could do but just because she liked her.It's now sixteen years later and the women hadn't had all that much contact over the years until now when a secret they shared threatens to come to light. An act of revenge after a dirty deed done.  A secret that bonded them, if not geographically, then at least in its keeping."The Truth About Us" is a page turner and you'll want to know what that truth is - that secret threatening to tear their lives apart if it indeed comes to light.  And they just may be powerless to stop it.
