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?

⭐️ 3 "Until Tomorrow" Stars ⭐️
Forbidden / taboo romances are a guilty pleasure of mine! Needless to say that I was very thrilled about The Truth About Tomorrow! After reading The Truth About Heartbreak first, Charlie and Ollie’s story promised to be angsty and emotional!
I’m kind of sad to admit that this novel was a disappointment for me! It wasn't bad, but just okay. Some parts were absolutely amazing, heartfelt and made me shed some tears. It's just the book as a whole that I had difficulty with! I don’t know if it’s only that I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be invested in this couple’s romance, but all read long I struggled with my read. I felt that the scenes between Charlie and Ollie were very interesting and charged with a palpable connection, but when they were apart I wasn’t interested by the action. Maybe the fact the novel is very long and the story could have been shorter could have help me.
It’s only my personal outlook on the story and I know that I’m in the minority, so I’ll stop my rambling and invite you to grab this book and forge your own opinion! I know this novel will please a lot of angst addict out there!!!

“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.
