Speak the Truth: Volume One

This is my first ever reading of this style of story. The character art on the front cover should tell all readers about the nature of this Gay Romance Novel. Twoony - who chooses not to make "their" gender known, and which is really annoying to me personally - has created two really interesting, and eventually rather endearing main characters in Prince Aron and his arch nemesis, the overachiever, Quinton. Twoony fills in a substantial amount of "background" dialogue / thought processes during the entire book, AND the writer chooses to use an extremely small font size for her publications. Vol 1 is 279 pages long, but in "normal" book font print size, much easier on the eyes, it could easily add another 100 pages. This font size if SUPER small!!! (Personally I would much rather prefer a 379 - 400 page book in much larger font size (like most books) to be so much easier on one's eyes. These 2x teenage boys are both 16 years of age, & the prince is used to other teenagers submitting and behaving submissively towards him........ until he encounters Quinton, who for starters refuses to surrender his classroom seat for the prince. This is just the beginning of their tumultuous interaction. Several physical brawls erupted between them, until one fight one day sparked additional flames in both young adults!! Aron has a roommate at boarding school, who also plays a growing roll in the story. There are also several additional, auxiliary characters, all adding flavor to this…

I picked up the story to enjoy a good romance, but I got so much more. It's now a favorite series that I love to re-read over and over again. The characters are loveable and realistic. I love the relationship dynamics between the main characters and their circle of friends and family just as much as the lovely relationship between the two of them. Twoony does a great job at making characters come to life through describing their mannerisms & tone of voice. I simply fell in love with the characters and how they developed over time. The slowburn romance was the perfect icing on the cake. I look forward to reading more of Twoony's published works!

Absolutely loved this. Had me giggling and kicking my feet all giddy and excited reading this. I love their dynamic and all the banter.
