When he is finally released, the life he knew is upended by his mother's fatal overdose, and Truman steps in to raise the young children she has left behind. He is hard, secretive, and stretched thin trying to save a brother even more broken than he is, and he has never in his life needed anyone's help. So when beautiful Gemma Wright tries to step in, he meets her with anything but gratitude. But Gemma has a way of working herself into people's lives, and little by little she slips past his ironclad defenses to the wounded man underneath. As Truman builds something fragile and real with her and the children, his dark past refuses to stay buried.

As the confession deepens, Monique begins to wonder why Evelyn chose her, and what the fading star still stands to gain by telling everything.\n\nTold largely through Evelyn's own unflinching voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel is a story about the cost of fame, the compromises women make to seize power in a world designed against them, and the difference between the public image and the private heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5s63redz87wyv08b9b8ah.jpg","LGCP^JIuU{KK}ZS6wMS2MLkWpGi{",2017,"4.42",24,400,[906],{"id":907,"slug":908,"name":909},"01kjq809s1bz8jkha881zbv9c5","taylor-jenkins-reid-jk5i","Taylor Jenkins Reid",[911,912,916,917,921,922],{"id":502,"name":503,"slug":504,"is_fiction":21},{"id":913,"name":914,"slug":915,"is_fiction":21},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":21},{"id":918,"name":919,"slug":920,"is_fiction":21},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":831,"name":832,"slug":833,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},[924],{"id":925,"slug":926,"name":927,"position":79,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve2ck560hws5hr6hqne7fwn","the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-universe-pysh","The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Universe",{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":101,"mood":929,"themes":930,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[235,104],[265,838],{"id":932,"slug":933,"title":934,"description":935,"primary_cover_url":936,"cover_blurhash":937,"first_publish_year":570,"community_rating_avg":938,"community_rating_count":939,"page_count":940,"authors":941,"genres":946,"series":951,"enrichment":952},"01kjq72m0av4t3dsgvwjebzmsz","people-we-meet-on-vacation-l2cp","People We Meet On Vacation","Poppy and Alex could not be more different. She is loud, restless, and happiest chasing the next adventure; he is careful, buttoned-up, and content to stay home with a book. They became unlikely best friends in college and, despite living on opposite sides of the country, kept the friendship alive with one thing: an annual summer vacation, just the two of them.\n\nFor a decade the trips were perfect—until the last one, when something happened that neither of them could take back, and they stopped speaking. Two years later, Poppy has the career she always wanted and none of the happiness that was supposed to come with it. Convinced that the last time she was truly herself was on a trip with Alex, she talks him into one more vacation together, hoping to repair what broke.\n\nTold across alternating timelines—the summers that built their friendship and the present-day trip that might end or remake it—People We Meet on Vacation is a warm, funny story about the fine line between friendship and love, and the courage it takes to risk one for the other.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq72m2t36t4q1vv8gwd448c.jpg","LPMs{a$~MJNF_RIqE%R:C6w1OaV[","3.74",17,480,[942],{"id":943,"slug":944,"name":945},"01kjq72m1v3y3x6my265z0bz7n","emily-henry-7uit","Emily Henry",[947,948,949,950],{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":461,"name":462,"slug":463,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":101,"mood":953,"themes":954,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[470,103,206],[375,549,838],{"id":956,"slug":957,"title":958,"description":959,"primary_cover_url":960,"cover_blurhash":961,"first_publish_year":144,"community_rating_avg":962,"community_rating_count":494,"page_count":963,"authors":964,"genres":966,"series":971,"enrichment":972},"01kjstgvc5n7t292akmsspmerk","beach-read-wb7l","Beach Read","January Andrews writes happily-ever-afters for a living, but she no longer believes in them. Reeling from her father's death and the discovery of the double life he kept hidden, broke and blocked, she retreats to the lakeside Michigan cottage he secretly owned to sort through his things and, she hopes, salvage her career.\n\nThe catch: her new next-door neighbor is Augustus Everett, the brooding literary-fiction star who was her rival in college and who has never written anything that ends in anything but despair. Both are stuck. So they make a bargain — over the summer, January will try to write something serious and bleak, and Gus will attempt a love story with a happy ending. To research, they trade field trips: she drags him line-dancing, he takes her to interview the survivors of a local death cult.\n\nWhat begins as a competitive dare turns into something neither expected, as two people who write for a living learn how hard it is to be honest about their own lives. Warm, funny, and quietly devastating in its handling of grief, Beach Read is a romance about writer's block, disillusionment, and the stubborn possibility of hope.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4c36rvd68hfc7ctdndq2v.jpg","LdP~c$b{nUS$y@VzoMjG_h%1SixX","3.94",368,[965],{"id":943,"slug":944,"name":945},[967,968,969,970],{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":461,"name":462,"slug":463,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":101,"mood":973,"themes":974,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[470,103,104],[],{"id":976,"slug":977,"title":978,"description":979,"primary_cover_url":980,"cover_blurhash":981,"first_publish_year":664,"community_rating_avg":982,"community_rating_count":644,"page_count":904,"authors":983,"genres":985,"series":990,"enrichment":992},"01kjvxt1z3qzj5wp6gfp7vc0g8","daisy-jones-the-six-2ljm","Daisy Jones & The Six","In the 1970s, Daisy Jones & The Six were one of the biggest rock bands in the world — and then, at the height of their fame, they walked off stage in Chicago and never played together again.

At the center are Billy Dunne, the band's driven frontman fighting to hold his family and his sobriety together, and Daisy Jones, a magnetic, self-destructive singer whose talent and chemistry with Billy push the band to greatness — and to the brink.\n\nTaylor Jenkins Reid captures the sound and excess of an era through the imperfect, competing recollections of everyone involved, building a portrait of ambition, addiction, and the fine line between creative passion and personal ruin.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksyve1jvy0twfd19fynvke8d.jpg","LsKKf,t7Ioof-;oft6fk_NWWxaj[","4.33",[984],{"id":907,"slug":908,"name":909},[986,987,988,989],{"id":913,"name":914,"slug":915,"is_fiction":21},{"id":502,"name":503,"slug":504,"is_fiction":21},{"id":831,"name":832,"slug":833,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},[991],{"id":925,"slug":926,"name":927,"position":171,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":101,"mood":993,"themes":994,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[513,104],[],{"id":996,"slug":997,"title":998,"description":999,"primary_cover_url":1000,"cover_blurhash":1001,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":1002,"community_rating_count":1003,"page_count":7,"authors":1004,"genres":1009,"series":1015,"enrichment":1020},"01kjq7aywdmj0gddkjrsm8fpet","it-ends-with-us-cmv3","It Ends With Us","Lily Bloom moves to Boston to open a flower shop and meets Ryle Kincaid — a successful neurosurgeon opposed to relationships — and Atlas Corrigan, the boy who was her first love and whose return complicates everything.

That was the tangled web of lies he’d created to protect those he loved, and it would forever more be the cloak that shrouded him. Once he revealed his past, she’d never look at him like this again".\n\nOMG! I have read my fair share of Melissa Foster’s books. There were some that I loved, and some not so much, but none has never owned my heart the way Tru Blue did. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster ride, which I am yet to recover from. Tru Blue is the kind of story that will bring tears to your eyes and put a smile on your face. It's filled with hope, love, joy, heartache, passion and tenderness.The first thing that caught my attention was the cover. It sent a very powerful message, which is backed up by the contents of the book. When I began reading, I could barely contain myself as the heartbreaking scenes began to unfold. From that moment, I knew that this story would take a different turn from all the other books that I have read from this author.The story was not the only thing to own my heart. Truman took a piece for himself. I love it when a man is loyal, caring and protective and Truman Grit was all that and more. He did not have an easy life growing up. He was abandoned by his father and his mother was a drug addict. Truman was able to rise above this, however, fate had different plans for him when he was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. It is said that prison hardens a man, but Truman was anything but hard. He may appear hard on the outside, but beneath that hardened exterior laid a heart bursting with love. The way he stepped in to care for his siblings with no hesitation was an indication of the loving person he was. It was quite understandable why Gemma was drawn to him.Gemma Wright dreams of finding a man who knows how to love, who is a good father and would not run at the first sign of trouble. All the things her own father was not. The night she met Truman, she knew her dream had become a reality. She is very pushy and takes no for an answer, which Truman will come to discover, when she unwittingly wormed her way into his life. She exploded in his life in such a manner that he had no desire to push her out. His only fear was that he would lose her when she discovered his secret. Gemma, accepted Truman for the loving and protective person that he was. She did not judge him. She was perfect for him, despite their different backgrounds.Melissa Foster is known for writing hot and sweet romance stories and Tru Blue was no exception. The way Tru and Gemma met was absolutely adorable. From that moment their attraction to each other developed into something meaningful. This story was not just about romance. It touched on real life issues such as drug abuse and wrongful incarceration. I have seen firsthand the ravaging effects of drug addiction so I could understand what Truman was dealing it from a very young age. Watching his mother and brother spiralling out of control could not have been easy. View all my reviews",5,"none","rv-01kxq1mrgppt3dtek881p4kqxf",[],"2026-07-17T03:24:10.000000Z"]
