"The story line is based on true events. So I am finding that as the story develops the main character Betty has a change of heart- she realizes to look at things with a different perspective to be able to hopefully get her freedom." — Jun 01, 2016 01:59AM

Britney K said: " What I expect from my new book

I was instantly drawn towards the book “All the truth that’s in me”. I don’t know if it was because of the cover that is extremely captivating or the blurb that left suspense, I wanted to know more, I wanted to discover What I expect from my new book

I was instantly drawn towards the book “All the truth that’s in me”. I don’t know if it was because of the cover that is extremely captivating or the blurb that left suspense, I wanted to know more, I wanted to discover all the hidden mysteries that I believe lurch in this book. I recently have feel in love with murder mystery and I have high expectations of this book. I’m excited but nervous to uncover all this book has to offer. I hope my high expectations don’t let me down. I haven’t read an amazing book in a while and I am ready to feel that sensation again of when a book is just so good that you can’t put it down. I want to relate and connect to the character, I want to feel her pain, struggle, hope, despair and more. So I truly hope/believe this is going to be a read not to forget something that I can recommend and treasure.

How I am liking or disliking the book so far?
All the truth that’s in me so far has been a mystery. A story that captivates you because you cannot put it down. It’s one of those books that you continue to read to try and uncover all the secrets that are to be encountered. I have gotten to the point in the book where everything becomes a lot clearer. At the start I was a little confused because it is in second person so I get a bit lost but now all the secrets are unveiling. I don’t know how to describe but that I get chills every time I pick it up. The way the author so far has used abuse, love, loss and secrets to keep you connected to the characters that I actually feel their emotions. Judith is someone that has to endure so much in her short life. First her going missing with her best friend Lottie and then getting her tongue cut off. She comes back to now only becoming silent and the truth buried with her. Judith has always loved this one guy Lucas he has been the love of her life. But her kidnapper which is Lucas’s father he cut off her tongue which eliminates any chance of her becoming Lucas’s wife. Even though this book is only fiction all the tragedies that have occurred so far just make me almost cry. So at the moment I am loving the book.

final thoughts
The book all the truth that’s in me seems captivating to the eye as I was instantly drawn to it. However the cover can be deceiving, this novel contained a strong start and storyline that left you wanting more. But the more I uncovered the truth I started to get lost. The book is written in second person as I said before which wasn’t an issue while the author was conveying the plot but as everything started to unfold and the novel was drawing to a close a got utterly lost in the sense that I didn’t know who was speaking and what was being revealed. The storyline itself is one that I will never forget because it has so many different complexities with the twists and turns; I just cannot get past the fact that the novel was written so complicated. Maybe its because of my age that I am not able to completely understand a book in a different person but it was to much. I think the author was trying to stand out and be different to the normality I just think with this particular storyline it needed to be simpler. As my English teacher says strip it back get your skeleton then and the flesh. That’s exactly what this author needed to do! Not just that throughput the novel instead of having a few main characters each character in it is a main. This got confusing towards the conclusion, as I had to keep referring back in my mind as to who was who. When I wrote my second review I was raving about this novel since then my mind has taken a grasp turn. I think I focused on the storyline a lot in my second review and the storyline as I stated before is amazing there are no words to describe how intense it is. I just think that as I continued to finish the book and everything was coming to a close that I realized how confused I could get. ...more "
