Well, not really read but had enough , that's why no stars at all. Despite the blurbs on the back that told me 'the kind of a book that you can't put down' I did.The characters - Ruth, Jess, Nina and Trish all in their thirties or thereabouts were the most self absorbed shallow characters. I couldn't be bothered with any more with their selfishness. They talked a lot about love but the reality was none of them really had a clue about what real love is. I doubt i'd read another Melissa Hill book if this is a sample. I initially picked this book up due to the intriguing mystery of a baby left on a strangers doorstep but I was wrong to think my venture into a new genre would be a splendid one, for now I think I'll stick with Young Adult books as the issues discussed here were a bit more mature than I'd rather read about often discussing the breakdown of marriages and planning pregnancies all things I'd rather not think about for at least a couple years.The three main characters stories intertwine keeping us guessing at who will leave their baby on the doorstep of Ella's cafe. I most enjoyed reading about Ruth Seymour's life as a Hollywood Actor and her decision to either keep working on the set of the fabulous new TV Show, Glamazons or move back to her childhood town and raise her baby with the guy she almost married before leaving for a jet-set career. A recurring problem I seem to have with books is being unable to recognize the sub-characters, they are usually introduced early with a few descriptive words and then we are forced to remember them when they are mentioned a couple of chapters later. This may just be a negative point to being quite a fast reader but it happened a lot in The Truth About You as there are a lot of characters to keep track of.There is absolutely nothing wrong with this book if you can relate to marriages, pregnancy and all the issues that come about after the teenage years but for me, I'd much rather hide my nose in a YA book recollecting my younger years than look ahead to what's coming in the future in a Chick-Lit novel.
What do You think about Truth About You (2011)?
I found this book quite hard to follow with all the different characters.
