Truth

Truth by Julia Karr was an okay sequel to XVI. A lot happened that I didn't expect and some things happened that I predicted.

The story picks up a few days or weeks after the first book ended, with Nina still sad about her friend Sandy dying, and her killing her step father, Ed, in defense. To make her situation worse, her grandfather gets arrested for being a Non-Con sympathizer, her grandmother suffers a heart attack and Nina and her sister get evicted from their apartment.

Some pretty predictable stuff happens like Nina and Sal getting into a fight, Nina meeting someone new and she becomes conflicted about her feelings.

Some not so predictable things also happen, but I won't spoil those.

Overall, it's a good read, a lot happens which keeps the story fast paced. What makes this series great is the message behind it; girls are just as strong as boys and don't have to conform to what society thinks they should be.

Once again, it ends with a cliff hanger, leaving the reader to anticipate the third installment!
