The Awkward Truth by Lee Winter
5.0
This was another book I was stalling because I'm afraid to read and the fun is gone too soon but they always make great delayed gratifications.
So, what a truly pleasant journey to witness! It was such an amazing thing to see Felicity blossoming and growing. But I'm gonna be honest and say I wasn't sure if I'd LOVE a story centred on Felicity; like yes, but love idk. Because for me, all Ms. Winter's Ice Queen's are all very untouchable, very classy, regal even and very "ready", do you see what I mean? And Felicity were bossy, icy and all that jazz before, but still felt like a rough diamond, still in the making.
But you see, I'm yet to read a novel from Lee Winter that doesn't live up to her name, so as my reading progressed I confirmed my hesitation was uncalled. Felicity has lots of hang ups and is more flawed than I'm used to see for an IQ, but nonetheless she shined bright like the diamond she is, I just had the privilege to witness the lapidation of a gem and even though she is still has a lot to learn in life (don't we all?), I LOVED it.
I guess I had a lot to say about Felicity LOL [actually I could go hours discussing everyone because they are so rich]
Cooper, oh Copper! I loooved her kindness, her down to earth and sure of herself vibe. Confidence and even cockiness in the right doses are sexy as hell and that she is. A beautiful tough quartz, can be overlooked by some as simple, but for those who know better it's one of the prettiest, precious gems out there. [Seems like my geology classes resurfaced on my brain today].
On a more sombre note. I'm not a US citizen, I live in a fucked up country in South America, you may know it as Brazil and we have a lot of homeless people [not as much as the US] especially in big cities, but I'm always stunned when I read about the US homeless situation. To think you'd be on the streets because you can't pay your health bills is just so unfathomable in my head. We have lots to improve here, but that I'm sure won't ever be the reason someone lost their home here. So Besides the escapism romances always give me, they teach me a great deal of things not that close to my reality and this time was no different. I'm grateful for that.
And finally, the whole investigation got me so engrossed that if the romance got dumped somewhere I wouldn't even mind much LOL, but thank the gods it was there!!!!! and the last chapters got me cackling silly, oh Felicity... you should know better!!! And How can you be so dense?!?!?!
10/10 recommend :P
