The Secret to Lying by Todd Mitchell

5.0

I read Todd's most recent book, "Backwards" first, so maybe I am doing this right... as this book came before. I don't have a whole lot to say except...You know that feeling you get when you have found a new author that seems to get inside your head? They write exactly what you want to read and you are absolutely thrilled about it and can't wait to get your hands on more? This is that kind of book for me. SO insightful. A YA book that is hip enough for teens and also possesses the deep insight that adults, as well as teenagers, crave. The sifting through the sludge of life to get to the heart of the matter. I LOVE books such as these. Also, I met Todd at a recent library function, READCON, and I thanked him for being "real". I had to laugh out loud when I came across a part that addresses that in his book. Maybe it was my imagination, but he seemed to give me a strange look when I said that. Perhaps he was thinking of that part? Read the book!
