I loved Truly and Colin's story. It was low drama and full of fabulous back and forth between the two, and I never once doubted that they were each other's person. Colin could easily be the model for what a supportive, all-in boyfriend should look like, and I could've easily read another 200 pages of him giving Truly all the green flags when it comes to a relationship. 

This romance was just easy to enjoy. Most of the requisite conflict happened because of outside influences, or just completely outside of their relationship altogether, and it was refreshing to read a romance that didn't put my emotions through high and low after high and low. If you love low-angst romances that are just allowed to be, then Truly, Madly, Deeply is a must-read for you. 

Despite Truly's hang-ups on romance for most of the novel, both Truly and Colin together just made this novel feel like a warm hug. From their very first interaction, I just sunk into their banter and didn't want to resurface to the real world. Bellefleur's writing and storytelling was top-notch, making this my favorite of her books to date.
