Not quite as engrossing as [b: Everything I Left Unsaid|25387181|Everything I Left Unsaid (Everything I Left Unsaid, #1)|Molly O'Keefe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1432603034s/25387181.jpg|45137856] but with eleventy-billion times more wangst. Also, a few threads left unresolved ( Also, even though it made sense to change the style, since Dylan was first-person narrating this time around, I was not a fan of how choppy it was. Lots of really short, terse sentences. So, stylistically, it reads like New Adult, but these are some grown people. I didn't like the disconnect. I found the character development and plot incredibly compelling-Annie's book is clearly the first & mostly focused on her growth. This is Dylan's book. Oddly, while I enjoyed the romance, I didn't find it half as compelling in either book as the actual plot & other characters. (I know, what gives?) I really, really felt like this book was missing Joan. That said, I would have maybe given this 3.5 or 4 had I felt a little more intrigued by the romance but that all seemed a foregone conclusion, particularly in the book. I may have given it that rating if the author didn't do that thing I find really jarring: 1st person then 3rd person from other MC POV. I don't know what to call that other than something I don't like. I loved Dylan as a character and think he'll stick with me a bit more, and I think the family dynamic in this book was incredibly compelling. I will continue with the series, but on a borrowed basis...JUST for that POV thing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

We played our roles, told each other lies. But now Dylan is no longer just a mysterious deep voice on the other end of the line. We're face-to-face, and our relationship is very, very real. We still have secrets, but so much is crystal clear: the thrilling danger. The raw, naked desire. The need to keep feeling the way he makes me feel. Forever. Dylan is putting up walls, trying to keep me safe, but he can't shut me out. He has seen my darkness and rescued me. Now it's my turn, if only he will let me. Contains mature themes.

First Impressions
The Truth About Him is the second book and the finale to the story between Dylan and Annie's story. This book literally picks up right after the first book ends so you can easily jump right into this one after reading the first book. I had such a fun time with this one here, and seeing the way into which these two learn each other and find their way of resolving their issues. I really admired the way in which this story was written. It starts off with so much intrigue and danger and tension and seeing our couple really find their ways past the stones thrown into their path was admirable.
First Line
Annie McKay came to slowly. Aware in pieces of her surroundings.
Summary
No summary as it will spoil the ending of the previous books.
What I Loved
I am going to keep this review a bit shorter as I don't want to reveal what happens at the beginning of this one as the first book ended with a cliffhanger. I know some of you may not mind some spoilers and I am sure other reviews will have those, but if you really want to know what happens I have it below here
(view spoiler)
The romance between Dylan and Annie is so endearing in this story. They really have to face some issues within their relationship and learn to fight for each other. There are secrets that revealed that were hinted at in the first book. But we also see the type of love that these two have for each other. I just admired their trust in one another and embracing fully what they have. It definitely had a "couple against the world" type of feel to the story. There are multiple characters that try to dissuade these two from being together. My heart ached for both of them. They both have flaws and struggles, but they truly come together so sweetly. I admired their convictions and standing strong despite the discouragement and learning to fight for each other. There is such a level of teamwork that comes into play into their story which I really appreciated. They had some drama in the first book, but this one is where their relationship issues gets resolved pretty early on and we see them fight against the outer conflicts that rise up.

Narration
Like the previous book, the narration in this one was with the same narrator and they did a superb job in portraying the conclusion for Dylan and Annie.
Overall View
This story was a powerful conclusion to our couple and seeing the mysteries being resolved and seeing our epic pair find their poignant journey to their well deserved happy ending. A POWER PACKED FINALE!
Favorite Quote(s)
I was not the right man for her, but I wanted to be.
And I was humbled by her choice.
She owned me. Despondent and wrecked, smiling and bright—it didn’t matter. I was hers.
“You. You are what is different. You have changed everything.” It was the unvarnished truth. As close to love as I was capable of getting.
