Tara's Reviews > The Truth According to Ember

4.5 stars. This was great, it lives up to the amazing cover art. A fun rom-com with a lot of heart, a lot of funny moments, and a really sweet romance, plus social commentary about struggling against white supremacy and racism as an Indigenous, Chickasaw, woman in Oklahoma and in the corporate world. This was a really fun read that I couldn't put down, I smiled and laughed a lot. I love Danuwoa and Ember and I loved their connection and growth. And I loved all the side characters, everyone had their own story that made them feel real too. I would have loved more Danuwoa, but it was single POV, he was just such a great character I wanted to know even more. There were a few uneven moments with the flow of the story and few moments I really had to suspend my disbelief- mostly inconsequential to my overall enjoyment of the novel and knowing it was a debut. I really look forward to reading more from this author!
