(ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review)The Truth About Us is a book of 2 people who have come together even though they are broken inside. It’s a story of self-discovery and unexpected love in the face of difficult times.This is an easy read and I read it in one sitting.Sophia is running away from her problems while Corbin is hiding from his by submerging himself in them. Although Sophia is running away from her problems she still shows a great deal of strength by standing up to some of them and doing what she feel she needs and living the life she wants to carve out for herself by taking it back.Corbin on the other hand completely accepts his problems and stands strong while they slowly kill him from the inside out. He allows the situation he’s in to continue rather than trying to change it and upsetting the status quo. Even if it’s detrimental to his own being.The book flowed really well and is one of the better written debuts that I’ve read recently. It wasn’t angst filled and it wasn’t as dark as I assumed it would be but then we should never assume anything. The book did have its highly emotional parts and your heat will break for a couple of the characters. I’d recommend this book if you are looking for a book that’s emotional without going too deep.
