Untrue by Kris Ripper
5.0

5 stars for the SMU series

Review for the entire Scientific Method Universe series. I mean, this is just a really excellent series/multiverse of books, short stories, crossovers by Kris Ripper about a triad relationship and their friends and families. The central relationship is Hugh | Will | Truman. The series is a masterclass of relationships and exploring all the intricacies of life. With a fair amount of kink.

There are a couple of books that are quote/unquote not my favorite but they aren't throwaway reads they each add to the overall arc of the narrative and the complexity of relationships (all relationships). And the books that fall in the "not my favorite" are because of very greedy Becs specific things like "there's not enough Hugh |Will | Truman." ;) All of the books cleverly examine and process power dynamics, fantasies, misunderstandings, communication and miscommunication, wants, desires, needs, anxiety, romance, love, betrayal, trust, depression, hope - it has everything.

After reading the final book I immediately dipped back into the first book Catalysts and can see the small moments, the seemingly throwaway lines said by characters that will weave throughout the series building to a crisis point and breakthrough. It is so good. And with nine books plus how many(?) short stories and freebies, I want to read it all again.
