The Truth About You & Me

By Amanda Grace

Smart girls aren’t supposed to do stupid things.

On her first day at Green River Community College, Madelyn Hawkins meets Bennett Cartwright, her biology professor. He’s funny. He’s interested. And he has no idea that Madelyn is only sixteen.

When they’re together, Madelyn feels more alive than she’s ever felt before. And she knows Bennett feels the same way. She also knows that if she tells him her real age, their relationship will be over.

So Madelyn makes a simple decision.
She won’t tell him.

Reviews for The Truth About You & Me

[lsmurphy524 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

First, I love the tagline for this book. “Smart girls aren’t supposed to do stupid things.” Madelyn isn’t a brilliant sixteen-year-old who is so lost that it’s heartbreaking. While this is very much a romance, it’s more of a coming of age story. When Madelyn meets Bennet, she’s surprised by how he reacts to her. He treats her like an adult, someone with a mind of her own and choices of her own. Nobody’s ever treated her like that. Madelyn’s story is emotionally intense and so real it’s easy to fall into her voice and experience what she’s going through. And, seriously, falling in love with Bennet is an easy thing to do. Loved Bennet. A strong, stable character with depth not seen nearly enough in YA books, Bennet is strong and weak at the same time. I loved the complexity of his character. The Truth About You & Me is a great book that will take you on emotional ups and downs and ups and downs. Just grab some tissues before you start it.
