"To Be Perfectly Honest" by Sonya Sones (480 pages)

In this fast-paced book written in verse, Sones tells the story of a girl named Colette who is a compulsive liar. She struggles growing up and being a normal, honest teenage girl while her mother is a movie star. Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie, which makes it hard to keep any good friends at school, never mind a boyfriend. She creates her own world because in her words her life “sucks.” Colette meets a boy named Connor, who makes it hard for her to hide all of her secrets and lies. Colette experiences her first love, and the aches it comes with. She is a well-developed character with a great sense of humor and makes you want to believe her lies. This is a perfect story that explains the dangers of lying. This book has the most twisted ending that I don’t dare give away. I’d definitely recommend this book if you want a quick but interesting book.
