The Lies About Truth by Courtney C. Stevens

5.0

This was a story of friendship, grief, love, and loss, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing style was wonderful - Sadie's voice was great to read - and I enjoyed reading her thoughts and feelings. I loved all of the characters, there wasn't one I didn't like, which made a nice change. And the story of Sadie's journey was fantastic. It had a happy feel to the story, despite the themes, and I kept wanting to read more. I thought it was funny, and awesome, and it was also a quick read - I read it in a few hours! But even though it didn't take long to read, I still enjoyed every second.

I thought Max was so cute!, and I really liked Sadie's parents, and Trent, and Gina. The flashbacks of memories with Trent was awesome, because I felt like we got to know him, even though he was already gone when the book started.

The friendship between Sadie, Max, Gina and Gray was so sweet and perfectly realistic, in a way that made me wish I had friends like them. I could tell by the way they all talked about Trent how much they loved and missed him, and I loved that they

all found acceptance in the end by talking to each other. Which, to be honest, was very unique, and in YA novels, most of the time, the friendships aren't explored nearly enough.

All in all, a fantastic book which I recommend to all you people who want a book about real people accepting the death of a friend they all lost, but with laughs and cuteness at the same time.
