The Truth According to Ember is a stunning debut romance

Berkley has been publishing so many anticipated releases for a lot of romance readers and one of those is The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava.

If you’ve been following any romance readers on social media, it’s likely you’ve seen the adorable cover for The Truth According to Ember. I feel like this cover has been everywhere and it makes sense.

That’s why I was so happy when Berkley sent me an ARC so I was able to read this one early. I was going through a move during July but this one was a high priority so once I was settled, I knew I was going to read it and I have thoughts.

With that being said, I’d like to thank Berkley for sending me an ARC so I was able to read this one early and share my thoughts.

The Truth According to Ember is a remarkable debut by Danica Nava.

The Truth According to Ember begins in an extremely relatable way as Ember Cardinal is looking for a job. She desperately wants to be an accountant but without a degree and being Native American, no one seems to pay attention to her. On a whim, she decides to throw caution to the wind and apply for a job but identity as white since her father is white.

Ember ends up getting a call from a company about doing an interview. While on the way to the interview, she runs into an incredibly handsome man but then a baby spits up on her. Come to find out that the handsome man is Danuwoa who is the company’s IT guy. It’s clear from the start that Ember and Dan have a connection.

Ember ends up getting hired and quickly gets promoted but it leads to more and more lies. In the meantime, she’s getting closer to Dan. As he starts to get closer to her, Ember continues to lie and things eventually do blow up in her face. While Danica Nava does take us on a ride for a majority of this book, the last 25% really blew me away as she went for it and I feel like most debut authors wouldn’t have done that.

Aside from loving the relationship between Ember and Dan, I adored Ember and Dan’s familial relationships. Dan was incredibly close to his sister and seeing them interact was so fun. On the flip side, Ember was dealing with a strained relationship with her brother and honestly, it was refreshing to see. Ember also had a best friend named Joanna who was more like a sister to her and I just loved seeing their friendship on the page.

The Truth According to Ember was such a fun debut with an incredible romance, loads of great character moments and frankly, has one of my favorite covers of the year. Let the cover convince you to buy and from there, you’ll be in for an even bigger treat.

The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava is out now where books are sold.
