Oskar used to be Marco’s best friend. His everything. His sunshine yellow.
But that was before. Before Marco stopped being a hot jock. Before he learned to live with scars and pain. And before Oskar tore their friendship apart.
Now the boy next door has returned home, determined to rekindle his friendship with Marco, and Marco’s more afraid than ever. Afraid of getting hurt. Afraid of being humiliated.
Afraid of falling in love.
Can Oskar find a way through Marco’s fear, back into his heart?
True Colors was truly unique in some ways. I absolutely loved how the colors and what they represented were used, and what's even better, the design of titles were visually stunning (I can imagine that a paperback would be gorgeous).
Besides that, the characters and the development they went through was so good and captivating that the book was almost impossible to put down; I downright devoured it. There were so many characters who were easy to relate with and otherwise absolute sweethearts; Ben was just so nice, Elena so supportive, Zoe enthusiastic (and totally had a shipper heart), and Marco's family who were just so warm. And Oskar and Marco, oh did I love them, separate and together. Marco needs all the warm hugs and kind words because he's beautiful inside and out. He was deeply hurt and has a lot of trust issues. Oskar was a bit mystery at first but despite the mistake he made, he was a nice guy.
True Colors was a story of learning to forgive, learning to heal and to let go of the past. It was about friendship and enemies and the lines between those. It was about love and courage to be who you are, and accept yourself. In every way, the story was beautiful; at times it broke my heart, just to mend it back. It was so gorgeous because Marco and Oskar, and their relationship which was complicated, steamy, sweet, and just to stunning. I loved the book, most of the characters, and especially the relationship and the journey Marco (and Oskar) went through.
I highly recommend True Colors, because it was brilliant story that had everything; sadness, happiness, hate, love, frustration, fears and overcoming them, friendships and family dynamics.
