The Awkward Truth
by Lee Winter
The Awkward Truth is everything I wanted as soon as I finished reading The Brutal Truth! Lee Winter had a wonderful setup to give us Felicity’s story, and I was thrilled when I saw that it was a thing. Felicity Simmons is a lawyer who doesn’t know much beyond the importance of ambition. Before she takes over as acting COO of her boss’s corporation, she’s sent to investigate an animal-centric non-profit. She goes, is reminded that people (and animals) matter, and also falls in love because why not?
I absolutely loved this book! Cooper was such a force to be reckoned with, and putting her together with Felicity was equal parts hilarious, sexy, and adorable, depending on the chapter.

Some Highlights:
- Watching multiple people try to convince Felicity that Elena was definitely with Maddie was so funny?
- I was afraid that by the time Felicity hit the point of being able to have her happy ending, that the author might change her whole character so much it didn’t feel like Felicity, but I think Winter did an incredible job of keeping who Felicity was at her core and just helping her shed some of the walls that she’s had in place for so long she didn’t even realize they were capable of being knocked down.
- Her secret love of animals! So good! The fact that it was a consistent thing and not just something she said at the end? Loved it.
This book had a great romance along with a really interesting mystery to go along with it. I’ve really loved being in the Bartell universe and I hope that we might get some short stories in the future to check in on Felicity and Coop =)
