In her life, Jess hasn't always had complete honesty or done everything right. She knows it, and she's ready to face the music, whether it's losing her best friend or giving up her whole summer to volunteer at the soup kitchen her dad is making her work at. When she meets Flynn, though, he changes the game. A boy who can see right through her lies to her true self, Flynn challenges her to be real.

It isn't always easy, though, especially when Jess's parents disapprove of Flynn. Instead of seeing the good in him—and the good he can do for Jess—they just see a boy from the wrong side of the tracks and write him off as a bad influence. Flynn is the only one Jess feels like she can be herself around, but instead of letting them be together, Jess's parents are trying to tear them apart.

Can Jess and Flynn overcome all their differences to make it together? Will Flynn help Jess learn to be honest—truly honest—with herself and her family? Pick up a copy of Janet Gurtler's The Truth About Us, available now, to find out.
