True by Erin McCarthy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Rory is the good girl, the smart girl. She tends to keep to herself, and sits back and thinks over everything logically. She's the girl that well boys don't really take notice too. So when she tells her roommates that she is still a virgin they decide to take matters into their own hands. Tyler is the metal shirt wearing, tattooed "bad boy" who they think will fill that role as Rory's confidence builder by helping her lose her V card. Except there is more to Tyler then people see, he's smart with so much on his plate. It's easier to let others think of him as just a good time, rather then have them get a peek at what life really is like for him. Until Rory.
