 SO TRUE                                                    SERENA BELL

Jax Walker left Chiara Campbell behind without a word, but he’s never forgotten how it felt to love that fiercely. Not that it matters—he can never go back to Tierney Bay, because the secret he’s keeping would tear them both apart.

Chiara has written Jax out of her life and her memory—until he shows up at the shop where she works. All the hurt she thought she’d buried is still there, and so is her fiery attraction to him. The more Chiara and Jax work together to save the shop, the more she wants things she can’t have.

She knows she’s going to get her heartbroken again. She knows it’s going to hurt like hell.

And she’s pretty sure that when he kisses her, she’ll kiss him right back.

PAT'S REVIEW

A story that is about a second chance at love but really before you even get anywhere near that part. Chiara Campbell must know the real reason why Jax Walker up and left with his mother and younger brother ten years ago. This right before the senior prom which there were to go together with and shortly after they did it for the first time. Now she is helping his younger brother who has returned to town after ten years and is wanting to open a game and comic book store. Though she is not thrilled with the store that he rented she is making the best of it for she is a gamer as well. It just so happens that Evan who has had Crohn’s disease his whole life is now in the hospital having emergency surgery on his intestine. Jax who had given Evan money for college and has been ghosted by him decides to go to college and finds out what has happened. He also after calling and hearing a familiar voice on the other end realizes that Evan has returned to Tierney Bay the one and last place on earth he did not want to go to. After having a not so good talk on the phone with Chiara it does not get any better for him when he finally arrives in town and decides to help his brother with the store. Here is when the story really picks up and though Chiara has issues with Jax she never lets up with him even after he apologizes which really makes for a good story. All of the interaction between her siblings also add to the story as well as the two of them working on the store which really was a nice touch to the story. When you finally get to the meat of the real reason, he left she is stuck with once again dealing with the past, and will he run away once again? See what happens with this very good book with really good characters. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com
