Best first-time sex scene in her career- Katherine Tegen about Truest by debut author @jackieleawrites #harperpreview — Shelley (Diaz) Vale (@sdiaz101) May 8, 2015
The view from Goodreads:
“Truest is one of those books that will destroy you in the best way possible. Truest is more than a book: it’s a window, a conversation.”
“Truest is a gorgeously-written, carefully researched and well thought out story. It made me think more deeply than many novels written for adults that I have read. I would give it 10 stars if I could.”
“This is an outstanding debut, charming, funny, unbelievably moving and a deep sort of soul searching. This book was moving in a completely unexpected way, it just sort of hit me out of nowhere. If you are looking for a novel with depth, power and beauty, then Truest is the book for you.”
“Fans of John Green will devour this once-in-a-generation novel.”
“Characters so real and developed that I’ve been missing them since I finished.”

… that beautiful horse-whisperer who uses one word when others use five or six.
Sean Kendrick, please let that one word be YES.
Thanks, everyone, for indulging me over the last month!
I hope to do another similar contest sometime this year!
