TRUE NORTH

It’s been eight years since the moment that changed Olivia Dalton’s life. Gabriel North was her first love—her only love. But an accident shattered their world, leaving Gabe with a serious injury and Liv with a broken heart.

In the years that followed, Liv left their small coastal town in Georgia and began her career in North Carolina. But she often feels like a stranger watching the woman she’s become drift farther and farther from the girl she used to be.

Now, confronted with a decision and a future that seems more uncertain than ever, Liv can no longer ignore the hole in her heart that’s been quietly aching for years. The only way to move forward is by going back—back home to face the love she left behind.

True North is a deeply emotional, second chance romance inspired by the unconditional love of family, the tender love of adolescence, and the deep, everlasting love between soulmates.

Nikki’s Review:

Like most of the world right now, I’ve been feeling unsettled, and I haven’t been able to focus on much. Reading is one of my daily joys, and not having the motivation to pick up a book has been difficult for me. I started reading True North yesterday afternoon. The ARC had been sitting on my kindle for well over a month. I had just finished up distance learning with my 9 year old, which sucks balls, and I needed something to soothe my frazzled nerves. I knew that Robin Huber was supremely talented, but this book was nothing short of a masterpiece. 

If you love a good snot and bawl, an epic ugly cry, then this book will give you that in spades! Seriously, my stomach was in a twisted knot for 99% of the story. Gabe and Liv have been through so much loss, and unimaginable heartbreak. Their journey back to each other knocked the air from my lungs. 

I loved every moment that I spent with these characters. I could feel their loss like a tangible thing. It was heavy, just sitting on my chest. I wanted Brandon back. He was only on the page very briefly, but I loved him all the same. You could definitely feel him throughout the book. He was woven into everything. 

If you read one book during this lockdown, or this year...read True North. It is one of the best love stories that I’ve had the privilege to read. Gabe and Liv are amazing, and the secondary characters are so likeable. You can’t help but want to know them. Phenomenal is the word I’d use to describe this book, and I’m not even sure that it’s adequate enough to explain my love for this story.
