Annabel Smith, author of Whiskey and Charlie

Whiskey is everything his twin brother, Charlie, is not --- bold, daring, carefree --- and Charlie blames his brother for always stealing the limelight.

Janet Gurtler’s new novel THE TRUTH ABOUT US is a love story at heart --- Jess meets Flynn, and despite the fact that their lives couldn’t be more different and her parents might never understand, she knows that they belong together.
