bookbruin 's review for:
This Much Is True
by Vivienne Lorret
Diverse cast of characters:
No
2.5-3 stars
Sadly, this ended up being my least favorite of the series. The book started off pretty slow and I only continued because I’m such a fan of Lorret’s work. I ended up falling for Thea and Jasper, but that made it worse when things went off the rails towards the end. The third act drama was frustrating and the ending was rushed and abrupt. Everything is told to the reader in an info dump right at the end. I think the author was trying to close all the plot points, but instead it left me feeling unsatisfied and with more questions than answers. Where was the reckoning with the villain where he gets his comeuppance? Where was the groveling? I wanted to love this one, but it just didn’t hit the spot.
