Goodreads Buy the Book
Silas Hart has seriously shaken up Westlin Beck's small-town life. Brand new to town, Silas is different than the guys in Green Lake. He's curious, poetic, philosophical, maddening-- and really, really cute. But Silas has a sister-- and she has a secret. And West has a boyfriend. And life in Green Lake is about to change forever.
Truest is a stunning, addictive debut. Romantic, fun, tender, and satisfying, it asks as many questions as it answers.

“Your windbreaker is just so…”
“Fetching?” he interjected. “Voguish? Swanky?”
“Hot,” I said, playing along. “The nineties neon just exudes sex appeal.”

Truest is totally one of my all-time favourite books, it just feels so true and real, that I can actually imagine the whole scenes in my head when I read Truest. It’s a mixture between the feelings of pain and love, and it is very impressive. Good work!!! And I also loved the ones that you wrote, where Silas tells his side of the story and describes how he feels. Anyways loveeee it, please keep writing more!!!
