Age is just
a number.
Just like
he's just a boy and I'm just a girl.
Except
that's not true, is it?
Because
fifteen may be a number, but it's bigger than that. Bigger than us.
It's a
number that separates us.
An excuse
that keeps us apart.
But I'm not
willing to give in until I get what I want.
After all,
how many other girls can bring a grown man to his knees with one little smile?

Excerpt
“Show me how to play,” I say.
Her body leans back as her brows pinch with a dubious stare.
“You want me to teach you how to play piano?”
I nod. “The song you played. I like it.”
She blinks, brushing her fingers through her hair. “It’s
about learning to love people’s faults and pain for what they are. Beautiful.”
My head cocks. “Why is that?”
She wets her bottom lip. “I guess when you love someone, you
don’t get to choose which parts. You’re getting every single piece of their
being, scarred or not.”
Her eyes trail to her hand, scarred with white and pink
marks. My fingers graze over each one, causing her to suck in a breath and
freeze as I caress the marred flesh. They’re rougher than the rest of her hand,
but part of her nonetheless.
Meeting her eyes, we stay like that for a few long moments.
Neither of us says a thing or moves an inch. We just remain touching, staring,
being there in one another’s company.
Then I pull away. “What are the keys I need to learn for the
song?”
She exhales then shows me the basics.
It’s a silent admission between us.
Your scars are beautiful, Charlie.

My Review
5 Stars
The Truth About Tomorrow by B.Celeste is the story of Charlie and Oliver 'Ollie'.
Charlie has had a very abusive and heartbreaking childhood until she was adopted at the age of 13 by Everett and River. Charlie connected quickly with Ollie who is River's adopted brother in addition to be about 15 years older than her. They were close friends with no other real feelings until she turned 16 they things were slowly changing between them. I think there is a previous book with River and Everrett's story but I haven't read it yet...so for me this was a standalone book. I did enjoy their story and would like to go back and read that story too.
