The Truth Hurts
The Truth Hurts: A Novel | Rebecca Reid
7 posts | 9 read | 6 to read
In this twisty, compelling thriller, a young woman quickly embarks on what she thinks is the relationship and love of a lifetime, and she’s thrilled when her new husband insists they follow one rule: they don’t talk about the past, but it’s a rule that has dangerous consequences—perfect for fans of A Simple Favor and The Kiss Quotient. Is her new husband hiding something? Caught up in a whirlwind romance that starts in sunny Ibiza and leads to the cool corridors of a luxurious English country estate, Poppy barely has time to catch her breath, let alone seriously question if all this is too good to be true. Drew is enamored, devoted, and, okay, a little mysterious—but that's part of the thrill. What's the harm in letting his past remain private? Maybe he's not the only one... Fortunately, Drew never seems to wonder why his young wife has so readily agreed to their unusual pact to live only in the here and now and not probe their personal histories. Perhaps he assumes, as others do, that she is simply swept up in the intoxication of infatuation and sudden wealth. What's the harm in letting them believe that? How far will they go to keep the past buried? Isolated in Drew's sprawling mansion, Poppy starts to have time to doubt the man she's married, to wonder what in his past might be so terrible that it can't be spoken of, to imagine what harm he might be capable of. She doesn't want this dream to shatter. But Poppy may soon be forced to confront the dark truth that there are sins far more dangerous than the sin of omission...

The set up is so promising! Broke nanny meets handsome mysterious (rich) man and after a whirlwind romance they marry and move to a mansion in the countryside. But both of them have a past they‘d rather keep hidden.

I ran through the first part of this book only to be so overwhelmingly underwhelmed by the rushed ending. The climax came ten pages from the end and both are awful people you‘ll be sorry you wasted time caring about.

Mehso-so

This is a compelling read about a young nanny who finds herself alone. The very same night she‘s fired, she meets Drew. He is rich, charming, and ready to rescue- but they can‘t talk about the past. What made me like this story was the knowing something was off, but not knowing what it was. It was clear they were damaged and drawn to each other. This story wrapped up some questions, but my truth be told, I felt a little letdown in the end.

This one was interesting enough to get through pretty quickly, but light on the suspense. Im just glad I finally finished a book again!

The Truth Hurts by RebeccaReid is a domestic thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend to thriller fans. Thank you Edelweiss Harper Collins/ Harper Perennial for this ARC. #bookreview #bookblogger
