I went into True thinking it was just a simple case of a guy going after a girl for all the wrong reasons and then they end up falling in love. While it is about that, True turned out to be so much more and I really loved it. Rory turned into such a stronger character than I first expected and Tyler is a great male protagonist that I really felt for. The story starts out simple then becomes pretty deep and emotional and I was left really rooting for this "out of place" couple. 
 I'll admit, I didn't connect with Rory much at first. She was a little too naive for my taste, but she quickly grew up after spending some time with Tyler and learning the truth about his family dynamics. I didn't like how she never stood up for herself and didn't think she was worth anything. As she spends more time with Tyler, she becomes more open, confident, and you can see her inner strength coming out. I really liked how she stood up for her relationship with Tyler, despite him being a guy no parent would really approve of. Tyler was a bit of a mystery at first, but as you see how crazy his mom is, and how special of a bond he and his brothers have, you slowly understand his character more. He's one of those guys who portray themselves totally different from who they really are, and when I really got to know him, I definitely fell for him. The poor guy definitely doesn't have an easy life, but I loved how much he cared for his brothers and he treated Rory with a lot of respect and understanding. I really didn't like how he went along with the deal of getting Rory to lose her virginity, but luckily he soon realizes the error of his ways, and honestly, that part of the story didn't play as big a part in the overall scheme of things. 
 True definitely stands out among all the New Adult titles out today and I would definitely recommend this one to all lovers of the genre, or to readers in general. Trust me, the synopsis doesn't begin to cover what this story is really about, and you'll end up loving this one a lot more than you'd expect. The bigger picture seems like something you've read before, but its all the little details in this one that makes it stand out and made it a very enjoyable read for me.
