Private Truths by C.B. Lewis

4.0

4.25 Stars!

This was such a wonderful, solid read. I really enjoyed it a lot. I took of .75 stars because at times it was a bit slow, and Jack was in a constant state of anxiety because of what happening for a lot of the book and that made me tense in turn, which isn't so fun.

But I loved Jack and Edward together, they were just so wonderful together, so cute and adorable. At times the sex feels a tad glossed over, but it still manages to be really hot, especially a few scenes near the end after all the angst is over. And I loved how seamlessly these two moved from a casual thing at the start into boyfriends in love.

There were great secondary characters too, and I love when the secondary characters can be just as enjoyable to read as the MC's. Because if there is a scene with one MC and a secondary character and I don't care about the secondary character? That can be boring and slow. But this book didn't fall into that. It mostly only felt slow because of how long the big plot was dragged out.

Overall, this was for sure a fun and wonderful read. Also, I really enjoyed the ending more than the beginning, which was an interesting change because sometimes it's in the reverse. Not that the beginning and middle wasn't fun either, just that the ending was my favorite part of the book.

This is definitely worth a read :D
