This review was commissioned by Harper Collins.

‘Truths I Never Told You’ artfully explores the way that tight-knit families can mask the truth from each other, sometimes forever, or until the pin holding everything together tumbles out, allowing the truth to come to the light.

In this case it is a sibling group, adults with families of their own, confronting the reality of losing their patriarch and every single thing he struggled to shield them from that they discover while packing up his home.

Is it a good story? Yes. Rimmer weaves the relationships of the siblings together, leaving the weak spots very apparent to the audience.

Does it take it’s time getting where it’s going? Also, yes. You have to be patient while the story builds and know that while it does there is a lot of tragedy brewing in the main character, Beth’s, world.

‘Truths I Never Told You’ drops April 14th wherever books are sold.
