Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley

5.0

A truly marvelous book about the civil war, focused on the individual. I couldn't stop reading this one, and it was a truly refreshing feeling after being in reading slump. I loved both Sarah's and Linda's chapters equally. Because they added an element of understanding, why Linda thought as she thought and why Sarah even bothered with her in the first place. I really liked these characters, even though Linda drove me crazy sometimes. But I like the ending even though a bit more romance never hurt anyone ;) This is a book I will never forget, it teaches you so much, about love, life and defeating racism and predjudices. <3 Sarah and Linda will hold a special place in my heart. :*
