The Truth According to Ember is a remarkable debut by Danica Nava.
In a strikingly familiar scenario, “The Truth According to Ember” opens with Ember Cardinal, a Native American woman, seeking employment as an accountant. Despite her strong desire, she lacks a degree, and it appears that potential employers overlook her. In a moment of spontaneity, she decides to disregard conventional wisdom and apply for a job, presenting herself as white, given her white father’s heritage.
During her journey to an interview, Ember encounters an attractive gentleman but ends up getting a baby’s spit on herself. To her surprise, this man turns out to be none other than Danuwoa, the IT specialist from the very company she was headed for the interview with! It quickly becomes evident that Ember and Dan share a strong rapport from the get-go.
Eventually, Ember manages to secure a job and is swiftly promoted, yet this success seems to necessitate an increasing number of deceits. Simultaneously, her bond with Dan grows stronger. As Dan draws nearer to her, Ember persists in her deceptions, and eventually, the consequences catch up with her. Danica Nava skillfully guides us through a rollercoaster of events for most of this novel, but the final quarter leaves me utterly astounded as she dared to push the boundaries, something I believe many debut authors might shy away from.
Beyond cherishing Ember and Dan’s romantic bond, I found myself captivated by their family dynamics as well. Dan shared an exceptionally tight bond with his sister, and watching them interact brought me joy. Conversely, Ember was grappling with a tense relationship with her brother, which offered a fresh perspective. Moreover, Ember had a close friend named Joanna who functioned as her confidante, and I relished the depiction of their friendship throughout the story.
In a delightful first release titled “The Truth According to Ember“, you’ll encounter a thrilling romance, numerous memorable character interactions, and quite possibly one of my favorite book covers this year. The alluring cover art may just entice you into purchasing the book, and once you do, you’re in for an even more captivating experience.
