Review

The Lies About the Truth is a story about recovery, forgiveness and life. Sadie has severe scarring left from a car accident that killed her best friend and injured another friend. A year removed from that, she still finds herself unwilling to go out in public or to forgive her friends who caused the accident. Slowly but surely, Sadie starts to come out of her shell and get back a little bit of who she was before. Forgiveness for her friends and for herself comes hard, but it's well-earned. An emotionally heavy read, this book will be of interest to avid fans of realistic fiction.

Overall Book Score: very good
