![]() ![]() Cranky is Ben, a talented chef with anger management issues he is also a self-confessed asshole. She accosts a cranky looking guy in the aforementioned bar and hijinks ensue. Her situation is not totally desperate, but she is not ready to sacrifice her last crumbs of pride either. Wanting only to go home, May breaks up with Dan, the football player, via note, walks out of his apartment, and is promptly and politely mugged. Having stabbed her pro football player boyfriend with a shrimp fork in response to the clunkiest, most insulting marriage proposal in the history of charity fundraisers, May finds herself-thanks to YouTube-not only embarrassed but instantly infamous. ![]() She may be willing to depend on the kindness of strangers, but only if they’re from Wisconsin. Truly opens as May, homeless and broke on the bitter streets of New York City, is checking out the habitués of a cheesehead bar hoping to find a little help in her current predicament. Given time and distance, I’m not quite so awash in squee, but I really can’t say enough about the juicy goodness of this book. Truly, however, includes all the elements that I love most about her work. If I’m honest, I have to say that Ruthie Knox hasn’t written anything that I haven’t enjoyed. So much wonderfulness intimidated the hell out of me. ![]() ![]() Problem was I had such a BIG love for this book that I wasn’t sure I could do it justice. I read Truly shortly after it was published, and I wanted to share the love as soon as I finished it. ![]()
