A review by jaklyns_library
The Truth According to Us by Annie Barrows

4.0

I listened to this one on audio and loved the narrators!

I picked this one up because Annie Barrows is the coauthor of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"(which I loved) so I wanted to give her solo adult fiction a try.

It is told in 3 perspectives: spunky 12 year old Willa Romeyn, spinster and owner of a boarding house Aunt Jottie, and Layla Beck- daughter of a senator who has been cut off from daddy's inheritance and sent to Macedonia, West Virginia to write a book about the history of the town.

Like in "Guernsey", the town of Macedonia has a cast of interesting minor characters. There is some romance, some history, some tragedy, some redemption, and some mystery- what does Willa's Dad actually do for a living and why has Aunt Jottie remained unmarried for so many years?

For anyone who enjoys a book with small town charm, who enjoys a book with a large cast of interesting characters, and a story about a family with many secrets.
