TRUTH ABT HEARTBREAK

i liked the book and once istarted reading ot became more intresting and it was hard to keep it down after reading it a little it would have been more specific on who's prespective were the author talking about

What a beautiful heartbreaking story. Thus book gripped me from the first few pages. The heartbreak and anguish through the book from the characters has you sobbing. And of course theres a beautiful family just there to hold on to. Amazing read.

Good, but a bit long & drawn out in some parts. It probably could have stood to be condensed a little more, but still a pretty decent read.

I gave this a chance but it was a bit ridiculous. Not for me.

River, the girl whose never known love until the James adopt her. Instantly loving parents, a protective older brother, whose best friend is like another brother or is he more?Everett, at times I loved him and others I wanted to knock some sense into him. An element that frustrated me endlessly was why he even stayed with Issy even during high school.The two fight having a relationship as too much is at stake if it fails. But what if it doesn’t? It could be wonderful.The characters have so much depth and the story is well developed. Highly recommend.

Since the moment I saw the gorgeous cover and the blurb of The Truth About Heartbreak, I knew I needed to read this novel. As a fan of forbidden romance, I was really intrigued by this story! B. Celeste did a fantastic job delivering an overflow of feelings through the pages of this poignant love story!When River is adopted by the James family at thirteen she not only gains parents, but a caring big brother in Oliver. Everett being Ollie’s best friend, he’s never too far and she forges a strong friendship with the boy too. He shows a protectiveness over her right away that got me swooning. He’s truly so sweet with her, knowing the harsh upbringing she had.The story span over a decade where we see their relationship’s lines being blurred by new feelings. The fact Everett is in a relationship makes their romance forbidden and heartbreaking. It would be so easy for him to go for River, but Everett also has some trauma of the past making his decisions difficult to make. He’s definitely a man of his words and breaking a promise isn’t easy for him.I cherished River and Everett’s romance! Their relationship evolving through the years into something so strikingly significant and powerful. It’s my favorite aspect of the story; their friendship that’s so effortless right from the start and can only turn into a love so potent.As I previously said, I loved this book. The reason I didn’t rate it higher has something to do with the pacing and the fact some of the most pivotal scenes are only vaguely described. I wanted to feel River and Everett’s passion when they unleash their forbidden feelings for each other and I was left a little disappointed with the way it was brought.Overall, the connection between River and Everett is what captivated me about this story. It’s utterly gorgeous, yet tragic. The prose is really beautiful and the supporting characters are so interesting and add another dimension to the book. Now, I’m more than excited about Ollie’s story, The Truth About Tomorrow. From the epilogues I know that one will be angsty and forbidden AF!!
