I Know the Truth by MA Comley

Lucy has kept her head down, worked hard, relied on her friend Trish and is out for an evening of fun when she meets the first man in five years that she is attracted to. She wonders if she should take a chance on him or remain solitary. Well, one thing leads to another and the two eventually hit it off only to have strange things begin to happen that really throw Lucy for a loop. Her past might be coming back to haunt her but then again…perhaps something or someone in her present is creating the problems for her and her friends that are so very strange and often scary. As each new tidbit about Lucy’s past is revealed the situation becomes clearer but the losses are also mounting until…well…you really should read this book…it is a humdinger!

What I liked:
* Lucy: strong enough to eventually do what needed to be done, a good friend with a big and loving heart, suffered much
* Trish: I true friend to Lucy, there for her throughout, deserves her own HEA in the future
* Matthew: almost a prince charming but also grounded and there for Lucy
* The way Lucy’s backstory came out throughout the book
* The relationship as it grew between Lucy and Matthew
* The friendship between Trish and Lucy
* The strength of Lucy and Trish

What I did not like:
* The man in Lucy’s past that harmed her so deeply
* Being reminded that truly evil people exist in the world and often get away with…abuse and even murder
* The way Matthew’s brother and mother acted…on more than one occasion
* Wondering what would happen next…for the characters in the story that were part of Lucy’s life and support network

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
