Publisher's summary

The summer after senior year was supposed to be the best summer of my life.

It was supposed to be full of adventure and self-discovery and making love under the stars.

It was supposed to be about losing myself and finding my way.

Only, it wasn’t supposed to start like this.

I wasn’t supposed to go to that party.

He wasn’t supposed to notice me.

The hot jock with the trust fund and chip on his shoulder.

My ex-boyfriend’s half brother.

Noah Tedesco is so far out of my league he might as well be playing a different game.

Noah wasn’t supposed to look twice at a girl like me, but he did.

Now that I’m on his radar, my life will never be the same.

Truly is a dark coming-of-age romance that explores themes like non-con, dub-con, and happily ever after.

Wonderful

This is a beautiful story to read but to hear the narration was just mind blowing. I love it especially when she changes and adds the southern accent.

I could feel all of the emotion in this story from the beginning to the end. It flows wonderfully . I could listen to this over and over again.

Amazing!!

I loved it before but now I'm even more in love with Truly. Lacey Laurel brought out even more emotions than the words alone and the intense scenes were even more so with the her exceptional narration.
Truly was already in my top reads of all time and now it is solidified there because of this audio.

Truly and Noah forever!

I read the PB and loved it, so I wanted to give the audiobook a try. I liked it, but I still wish that Noah had been narrated by Male. The ending when the male narrator read for Noah was a nice treat. wish he'd read for the entire book.

Dark Coming Of Age Romance

Truly by Carmel Rhodes is a dark coming of age romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lacy Laurel.

This is the first book of Carmel's that I have read and it won't be my last. The best way I can describe Truly and Noah's relationship is messy and a bit toxic. But through the book they both really grew together and by the end you couldn't help but root for them.

Lacy did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, new adult romances, or coming of age romances.

Dark Romance! 🖤

I liked it! Truly is a beautiful, strong, and intriguing character. Noah is enigmatic, dominant, devious, manipulative, and possessive. Their story is complex, emotional, dark, raw, and twisted. This story is definitely original, heart-rending, and captivating. Lacy Laurel did an excellent job with the narration. She was perfect as Truly! Her performance is amazing. I loved Connor Crais's short appearance. I enjoyed it. If you like DARK romance, this one is for you. #AudiobookObsession

One of my favorite books this year. 💋❤️

I read this book before the audiobook came out, and completely fell in love with the way Carmel Rhodes writes. She can turn a phrase, get inside the characters heads by showing you rather telling you, and make you feel everything along with them. Truly is a young woman, newly graduated from high school, planning a cross-country trip with her best friend. Noah is a classmate and athletic star, who is attracted to her but doesn’t know how to navigate a relationship with anyone, let along someone he’s falling in love with. There are triggers and the author is up-front about them. Please don’t let that deter you from this wonderful book. I promise, the top-notch writing and narration make it so worth it.

Love the story, but....

I have to to say that I loved this book when it first came out, So when I heard it was going to audio I just knew I had to get it. I have to say that Lacy is not one of my favorite narrators. I feel like a lot of authors are going with for some reason. Also she need to work on her character development for the voices. I don't want for all the character to sound almost alike. That is what I felt like I was getting that in this book. But beside all that, I love the book. I am hoping that Carmel will do some more dark romance books.

dark, intense

Truly has been waiting for years to go on a cross country trip. It couldn't come soon enough, after her boyfriend of 2 years humiliated and broke up with her at graduation.
This is a trip that her mom wrote about in her journal. All her mother's thoughts and dreams are written in there. Truly planned this trip with her bestie, Becca. She wanted to get closer To her mom and have get the same life experiences.
Becca invited her boyfriend to tag along. Truly ex's brother, Noah, invited himself.
Noah is arrogant, pushy, obsessed and possessive when it comes to Truly. She doesn't want anything to do with him, but he is persistant. As she gets to know him, Truly is falling for him. when a secret is revealed. she breaks it off with Noah. Noah has to earn her love in order to win her back.
This is a dark, steamy, bully romance, that their relationship is toxic/complicated/ steamy.
Lacy Laurel told this story with so much emotion. I felt all the anguish, angst, love, confusion, anger of each and every character. Amazing narration.

Definitely recommend!

This is a new author to me and i am absolutely loving this book so far!

It starts off with truly’s boyfriend breaking up with her and then Noah swoops in. They definitely have a love/ hate relationship going on because of things Noah has done but under all of that their attraction for one another definitely sparks up when they are around each other.

I loved the angst and the drama and the characters were definitely relatable!

Aahhh I absolutely loved this! It was cute and definitely worth the read! It definitely grabbed my attention from the beginning and i loved the story line!

I do have to say that to me it wasn’t dark but it was a good read!

4 stars and I definitely recommend it!
