As Sadie begins to fall for Max, she's unsure if she is truly healed enough to be with him. But Max looks at her scars and doesn't shy away. And Max knows about the list she writes in the sand at the beach every night, the list of things that Sadie knows she must accomplish before she can move on from the accident. And while he can help her with number six (kiss someone without flinching), she knows she's on her own with number three (forgive Gina and Gray) and the rest of the seemingly impossible tasks that must be made possible before she can live in the now again.

This book had me captured from the very beginning. I only set the book down when I absolutely had to. Courtney Stevens writes characters that have realistic problems and fears. I've read books with unrealistic happy endings (not that I object to the thought of a happy ending), but Courtney Stevens gives an ending that leaves you wanting more. You want to know what happened to your favorite characters. Now, that is what I consider an amazing writer.

I first read Faking Normal by Courtney Stevens and immediately wanted to read more from her. Coming into the book, I had high expectations after the incredible plot line of the previous book. The Lies about Truth went above and beyond all those expectations. The characters show such a true sense of grieving and I was blown away by the vulnerability you felt through the words Stevens wrote. I highly recommend this book to everyone! :)

AuthorMy name is Katie Moisant and I am one of the 2 Librarians at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, TN. Mrs. Hays (my fellow "book whisperer") and I love talking about books we have read -- the good, the bad, and the ugly! I am excited to hear from the OHS students, faculty, and staff about what books they have read and their thoughts on those books.... Archives
