The Secret to Lying by Todd Mitchell

4.0

This is the second time that i have read the book and the first time i thought it was a really good book. This time i am probably about 2 years older now and understand more about what people go through when they have a mental illness which allowed me to understand the book more. I really love the way that Todd Mitchell really got deep into the way that people make up stories because they think it will make them happy, but in the end just makes them feel lonely and isolated because no one really knows who the person is. While this isn't one of my favorite books in the entire world, i would absolutely recommend this to a friend and reread it multiple times in the future. Thank you Todd Mitchell for writing a book that hit on a topic that a lot of people don't want to talk about.
