Description As Books Truly (New York #1)
May Fredericks hates New York. Which is fair enough, since New York seems to hate her back. Just weeks after moving from Wisconsin to Manhattan, she receives the world's worst marriage proposal, stabs her boyfriend with a shrimp fork in a very public venue, and accidentally becomes notorious. And that’s before she gets mugged.At her wit's end, May washes up at a Packers bar in Greenwich Village, where she meets a surly, unhelpful guy who hates her shoes and calls her ex a douche.
His name is Ben. He used to be a chef. Now he's a rooftop beekeeper with anger management issues. She wouldn't even like him, but he reminds her of home … and he knows where to find all the best food in the Village.
She makes him laugh. He buys her tacos and cowboy boots. The longer they’re stuck together, the better May and Ben get along … and the harder they fall. TRULY is a quirky, modern New York love story unlike any you've read before.

Originally reviewed here @ AngievilleIf you'd asked me last year if I was a fan of novel serializations, I would have issued a flat no. But then there was Truly. And it took me exactly no time at all to become a very big fan of this particular serial. It helped that I basically spent last year blowing through Ruthie Knox's backlist. Truly represented a somewhat different venture, as a handful of new chapters were posted each Monday morning over a period of several weeks. I began to look forwardThird het romance in a row after a two year hiatus - and another positive experience.Lovely, actually.This is just such an adorable, inspiring, simply nice story. And maybe, just maybe, it could've gotten five stars if it hadn't been for that pesky interlude of unnecessary drama of the I'm-too-ruined-for-you sort. And for a sense of place that wasn't quite up there, but... eh. Can't have it all. And there really is a lot of good stuff in here.It's about two people. With families attached.It's
4 STARSIt was easy to love your idea of someone - to fall hard for their very best self. The question was whether, once you had to spend some time living with their worst self, you could bear to be with them anymore. Every time I pick up an adult or new adult contemporary romance books, with how often these kinds of books left me frustrated, I brace myself for a certain degree of disappointment. That snarling grinch, jaded reader in me preemptively bares its claws at a ready for some shredding.
Truly was not the typical romance that I expected it to be. The plot line and the character roles, on the surface, seem predictable but as I read they became a lot more than that. This is a book that I really enjoyed, with a storyline about two very different people finding each other in a unique way and helping each other to find their own strengths within themselves. The two main characters are May and Ben. May is a tall atypically-pretty woman from a small Wisconsin town who breaks up with
3.5 stars!Review at Of Pens and Pages. It wasnt simple or pretty. Possibly that was his pointthat the whole city was dense with history, layered and pulsing with life. Alive. Real. I promised myself that I will read books by new-to-me authors. Im grateful for my acquaintances recommendation to read this novel by Ms. Knox because I enjoyed this very much! I love the banter between the two characters and both of the main characters journey to rediscovery and growth.Wisconsin native May

Fan-freakin'-tastic. Honestly, I was bound to love this. This book reads like a love letter. It's a love letter to New York City (my home turf), a love letter to the food-obsessed (ME), and love letter to our imperfections. It is about being who you are and not who you think you should be. It was touching and light all at the same time. It made me so happy today.When I want awesome contemporary romance, I know who to turn to and Ruthie Knox is on my short list. For some reason, I seem to have
