Today we are pleased to feature Both Are True by Reyna Marder Gentin. Thanks to Get Red PR, we have one copy to give away!
Jackie Martin is a woman whose intelligence and ambition have earned her a coveted position as a judge on the Manhattan Family Court-and left her lonely at age 39. When she meets Lou Greenberg, Jackie thinks she's finally found someone who will accept her exactly as she is. But when Lou's own issues, including an unresolved yearning for his ex-wife, make him bolt without explanation, Jackie must finally put herself under the same microscope as the people she judges. When their worlds collide in Jackie's courtroom, she learns that sometimes love's greatest gift is opening you up to love others.
"Reyna Marder Gentin writes compelling women's fiction with just the right blend of romance. Both Are True is the moving story of two lovers at a crossroads, and if you're anything like me, you'll be rooting on these perfectly flawed characters. Gentin captures the subtle nuances of relationships and what it means to open ourselves to others. Fans of legal thrillers will appreciate the courtroom drama, a testament to Gentin's years practicing law, and I, for one, appreciated the quick wit throughout. I'm a fan. Brava, Reyna!"
"Gentin deftly weaves a story of a complicated relationship with fascinating legal insight, exploring themes of parenting, love, and all the difficulties and nuances involved with both."
In 2021, Reyna took a foray into children's literature. TouchPoint Press published her middle grade novel My Name Is Layla, which features a dyslexic protagonist and is a story about resilience and empathy. My Name Is Layla is for young readers -- and for all readers -- who are inspired by the idea of a kinder world. School Library Journal said Layla's struggles at school and home are authentically depicted and readers who face their own challenges will relate. With Both Are True, Reyna has returned to contemporary fiction, the law, and New York City. If you love these three as much as she does, this novel is for you. Reyna is married to Pierre Gentin, whom she's known since her high school days on Long Island. Their two children, Ariella and Micah, are the light of their lives.

I look forward to reading this book. It looks great!
I felt like I was being judged when I went to a class reunion. I somehow felt like we were back there even though it had been many years.
I felt judged throughout my life but now that I am old it is unimportant.
I felt like I was being judged when I was doing a presentation at work.
I felt like I was being judged at my last job. My client was very moody and her husband seemed suspicious of me. It was a difficult environment to work in.
I feel like I'm being judged when I'm with people I don't know.
I feel like I am judged often. At work is the worst.
When my children were young, I sometimes felt judged as a parent.

When new management came into a company where I worked.
I really can't think of a time but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
The last time I felt like I was being judged was the other day at the grocery store when the checker asked me how often I came to buy groceries.
It has been continuous but I rarely ever let it bother me. What other people think of me is none of my business. :)

I'm always being judged. Judged for my first marriage. Judged for being single and pregnant. Judged for having fibromyalgia and whether my pain is real.
I have always felt judged about something. That's a part of social phobia. And, it's a big pain.
