Eve’s Reviews > The Truth According To Blue > Status Update

This book was a gem and I adored it. It was one of the best books that I've read this year. 😁 I look forward to reading more of Eve Yohalem's books in the future.

The character development in this book was fantastic. I loved the friendship between Blue and Jules. And how Jules didn't fit into the snobby rich girl trope. She was very smart, determined, and she wanted a better relationship with her dad. She felt real even though she's fictional.

I loved the plot twist at the end of this book. It was kind of funny and it was well done. I started this book with no expectations. I just thought it sounded interesting and I was intrigued by the author's name because I thought that her last name was Hebrew—apparently I was right, and it is. I also thought the story sounded fun.

I should've written this last night, but I looked up a continuous glucose monitor and realized that my late pet dachshund had one. She got one shortly after she was diagnosed with diabetes a couple of years ago. It was a useful and convenient way for my mom to check her glucose levels. CGMs seem pretty handy and I hope that they are.

I'm glad that Ed had character development in this book. He was a jerk at the beginning and throughout the story. Luckily, his love for Jules won out, and that helped him become more present for her.

I want to see what a continuous glucose monitor looks like. I'll look it up.

I already knew the fact about how dogs have cleaner mouths than humans. I still don't want the dogs in my life to lick me on the lips and I think that's fair.

That chapter was suspenseful AF. I learned something new and shitty about Fitz who continued to be a greedy beast. No surprise there. 🙄

I chuckled when Blue's dad called their family a 'benevolent dictatorship family' and said that he and Blue's mom were the dictators. And that Blue was the 'oppressed citizen'. That was very humorous!!

"Because people who do great things don't ask for permission. They just do the great thing, no matter what."

This dialogue from Jules is fantastic and true. I loved her reference to Clara Barton as well. That was great!! So was Blue's reference to civil disobedience. 😍
