Truth or Beard
by Penny Reid
This book follows a young woman falling for the wrong twin until now. I liked the storyline for the most part, especially in the beginning, but then it just became repetitive throughout the book. Nothing major was happening, and I think it’s because the couple giving it a chance happened way too quickly. I wanted the slow burn and yearning for one another that this story lacked. The pacing was slow towards the middle and the story just started to feel longer than needed. This book is told from Jessica and Duane’s pov.
Jessica is the FMC who comes off as the quirky, fun teacher. However, I couldn’t connect with her character. I was just confused by her thoughts in this book. Then we have Duane, whose character I liked initially, but once he knew he had Jessica wrapped around his fingers, he just stopped caring. He was lacking the love for her that he had proposed he had before. Many side characters exist, mainly the Winston brothers, Claire, and Jackson. I am excited to read the other brother’s story because they sound way more fun. The romance in this book is childhood enemies to lovers, and falling for the twin. I just didn’t feel the chemistry between the MCs.
The ending was good, and it builds up for the next book, which I am excited for. Jethro sounds mysterious and this man was mentioned in the book way too much that I know he has to be a great character for the story. When it comes to sibling series, there’s always a chance that I won’t like one sibling and in this case it’s Duane. I will still be giving Reid a chance as I love small town romances.
