Book Description

"...strong opinions about this book. It's great for a book club - lots of discussion."
"This is fasted paced and well written, I kept turning the pages until the end." 
"This book takes off and doesn't stop."
"Addictive from the start...I love books that get more intense with each 
page."
"The story is gripping and compelling. There is no gratuitous sex or violence, as
suggested by a couple of negative reviewers, who didn't read the book to
conclusion." 

Three women, roommates back in college, find their lives forever altered when one of
them feels compelled to confess the secret. 'The Truth About Us' weaves the
past and the present in a page-turner that explores the shifting quality of
truth, and the cost of secrets.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not my kind of book April 4, 2012
By kacee
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not disagreeing with the people who loved this novel, but since it is my own personal review, I will say that I couldn't finish it. I really wanted to like this, but things were just over the top for me. There was a lot of scripture quoting, but for me, it was a deliberate way to make the Bible and Christians look foolish. There was sex, alcohol,adultery, and some poor attempt at religion. I didn't read further, not caring what I missed. As I said, the people who loved this book would feel much differently, and maybe you would too. This is only my point of view.

Sorry, but I do not like books about violence toward women. Under the best of conditions, I would have found this book a hard read. However, combined with the negative portrayal of the Christian faith, I just hated it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets...do you have any? Great story. March 19, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This book surprised me, I guess I didn't know what to expect and WOW...BANG...the author nailed a topic that is near and dear to everyone's heart.....Secrets we keep. What secrets do you keep from those you love and those who tell you everything? Well this one is big and it has the power to destroy lives and those you love...would you tell someone then? What will it cost you if you do? You may never know until you tell that secret.

This is fasted paced and well written, I kept turning the pages until the end. I've known people like the characters in this book and I think the author really hit the nail on the head with a few of them. Friendship is one thing, love is another and crazy is a completely different topic altogether. Put those three all in the mix and things happen. Good, bad or indifferent....things happen.

I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from this author. By the way I was surprised this was self-published...it read like a well edited, professionally published work. 4 1/2 star it may not be for everyone...but it is a good read.

This is a generic book review that is being written to get this book off the “to be reviewed” list. I am a reader and I don’t necessarily read all of the books I put on my Kindle.
