This book was a fun read! Like a summer day beach novel sorta feel, ya know? Basically Quinn finds out that her dad isn't really her dad when her mom tells her just before she passes. So the adventure begins: She's off to Maui to spread her mother's ashes, and ends up learning quite a bit about her family roots along the way. There were ups n downs n all arounds but I won't spoil anything for you, go and read it for yourself 😉 4 stars all the way

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the PDF so that I can share my opinions with y'all 💛

This was really good. I enjoyed it. It was a quick, easy read for me and it's a very memorable book. I think the thing I most enjoyed about this book was how easily it was to related to the context of the story and how it resounded with me as a person in general.

This was a great read, enjoyed it thoroughly, great storyline and loads of twists and turns , highly recommend this book x

A must read!!!

This book pulled me in right from the beginning. Quinn's journey was so intriguing that each page had me wanting to know more. I felt as if I knew her and the rest of the people she ventured upon at home and in Hawaii on a personal level. So many emotions came out of me during her story: curiosity, tears of sadness, tears of joy, anger at times, excitement, the list goes on.
I guarantee you will not want to put this book down!! I can't recommend it enough! Kay Bratt does not disappoint! I can't wait to read her next book on my list!

This is a beautifully written story about a young woman's search for her family and finding her true self as well. Quinn is a successful business woman with a fiance and in general has her life on the right track - or that was her perception before  her mother's deathbed confession.  She spent 30 years resenting her absentee father - only for her mother to confess that he isn't her biological father.  She sets off on a journey for the truth - in Maui, where her mother wants her ashes scattered.  Along this journey, not only will she find answers about her family but also she will find her true self.
This was a beautifully written book that had many life lessons along the way.  My first by Kay Bratt but certainly not my last!
Thanks to Kay Bratt, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this book so much -- I feel in love with the main character Quinn immediately!!  I love how Kay tapped into her finding herself and her family.  It is womens fiction but also has some twists and turns I think you will really enjoy!!

This book was wonderful and I found it hard to put down. I was on a bit of an emotional roller coaster but it was a ride I didn't want to end.. I appreciated how the book was never judgmental. This was a new author to me and now one that I will follow.

Kay Bratt always gives an excellent read.  This story takes place in Hawaii, and one can just imagine being there by the word pictures she paints!  I love her characters, their development and story line.

True to Me didn't fully live up to my expectations - I did not finish the book. I found myself pretty confused between some of the characters that Quinn meets after she travels to Hawaii when her mother passes away. Hawaii was a beautiful setting for the book and that's partially what made me want to read it, but it was not enough to keep me invested enough to finish. I DNF'd at 30%.

Wow! This was such a powerful novel! There was just so much to this story. It was a very deep, emotional story. This book is about family and friendships. It is about the truth and secrets. Quinn while searching for information about her family will discover so much and find herself at the same time. I was extremely touched by this novel and it is now my favorite by Kay Bratt.

When your mother leaves you with a deathbed confession!! 😯 Quinn sets out on a journey to find out more. The place to begin is Maui, Hawaii!!🌸 I loved all the characters (maybe not Ethan)!
Don’t miss out on this book!!!!!!
I have read other Kay Bratt books and this is so much more ❤️🎧
.

This first book in the series was an enjoyable novel with a little mystery and a little self-exploration. I enjoyed the introduction to Maui and imagine this would be even more enjoyable to anyone who has traveled there. I found Quinn to be an interesting character for the most part.

I always enjoy Bratt's style of writing and this was up to the usual standard i have come to expect. 

Overall, a good read.

Beautifully written!! I’m not good with explaining what books are about, but if you have read any of Kay Bratt’s books you’ll  love this one too!

.Beautiful story of Quinn as she discovers her true self.  When Quinn loses her mom, she finds out her family wasn't really who she thought it was and decides to go back to Maui to find her roots.  The twists, turns and emotions Quinn experiences as she finds out about her past leads her to a new life in the present and possibly the future.  Kay Bratt's description of Maui in this story almost feels like you are right there!   Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC at my request. All thoughts in this review are my own.

An intriguing saga that takes you on a journey to paradise. Before her deaths Quinn Maguire’s mother told her that the man she thought was her father was actually not her father. She needed answers, she needed to know who she really was and where she belonged. A search began that led her to Maui and hidden shearers. Kay Bratt pens a beautiful story that will leave you feeling like you were right there with Quinn on the beautiful beaches.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an ARC. this review represents my honest opinion.  

Quinn Maguire seems to have life all worked out, a handsome power driven fiancé and a high paying job.  The death of Quinn’s mother rocks her world as she learns the man she thought  was her father was not her biological dad.  Determined to return her mother’s ashes to her beloved Hawaii, Quinn sets out on a life changing journey. 

The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the beautiful island of Maui along with a family that truly embraces Hawaiian traditions and customs.  

Quinn fights an inner battle as she is determined to find the true story behind her family and her mother’s influences. Meanwhile Quinn is determined to renovate the Hawaiian home she bought sight unseen and make the location her own.

Quinn is on a quest for the truth. Her mom drops a bombshell on her before she passed that leaves Quinn foundering. This story is about the lengths we can go to find who we are. It is always about being open to whatever answers you find. I love Quinn how she went to Maui to fulfill her mother’s last wish. You will experience sadness and joy as she enjoys the best the island has to offer her.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through Netgalley. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This book transported me to my beloved island of Maui with a story of love, family, mystery, and intrigue. I can't wait for the sequel!

This is the first book i've ever read by Kay Bratt and it did not disappoint. True To Me is a beautifully written story about a family, the secrets within them and love at its highest degree. Quinn’s mother reveals a confession at her deathbed which shakes Quinn to her core. In digging deeper about the new revelation, Quinn learns about Maui, her mom, her family and even more about herself. 

True to Me was a heartwarming story that involved an awesome twist at the end, which I did not predict, always a bonus in my books! 

I would recommend this book.

A really good read again from Kay Bratt After Quinn's mother dies she learns something that leads her leaving home and travelling to Maui where she discovers a new way of life and will eventually discovers secrets from the past that changes her life forever
