The Lies About Truth is the story of Sadie Kingston who is trying to find her way after a devastating accident that left her scarred and living without her best friend who died in the same car accident. Sadie is such a wonderful character, Courtney Stevens describes her anguish and issues in such a way that makes the read not only root for her, but feel her pain at the same time. Sadie is stuck in the feelings of guilt and anger towards her friends who were with her during the accident and trying to live with her new normal of how she looks. The only person who really seems to understand her is her best friends younger brother Max. But Max moved out of the country a month after the accident, and while they grew really close by email, now that he is moving back, Sadie is afraid of how he will feel when he sees her. Sadie has a list of seemingly impossible things to accomplish before she can move on with her life. Things like: drive a car again, wear a tank top that will show her scars, forgive Gina and Gray and kiss someone without flinching. Sadie has a big job ahead of her, but only by accomplishing things on the list can she really start to live again.
Loved this book! I can't wait to share it with kids at my school.
