But the more lies Sadie spins, the more she starts falling for her own hoax, and perhaps for the wrong boy.

With her future at stake and her heart on the line, she suddenly has more than just money to lose.

My Thoughts: I was blown away by this one. I read a few reviews saying it didn't have much romance and wasn't all they thought it would be.But myself, I still loved it quite a bit. We are introduced to Sadie who has always lived with her mother and father. Her mother is kind of a loner and her father is always in and out of jail.

Sadie has picked up a bit from him but she only uses it to steal money for college andComplete and total spoiler rant.Eileen Cook, why did you cheat me out of an emotional payoff?WITH MALICE is one of my favorite novels and THE HANGING GIRL was another five star review for me. THE ALMOST TRUTH could have been a nail biting, edge of your seat thriller, but the ending that Sadie is Ava without showing the reunion with her parents is cruel to readers who live for this stuff.The romances in the book were lukewarm at best. THE ALMOST TRUTH wasnt going to be higher than three stars

(view spoiler)[ I'm more disappointed with this book than anything. It showed so much potential and though I was immersed from start to finish I felt the story wasn't complete. Sadie and her family have a great background. Her childhood pretty much sucked and she became a product of her environment.

She grew up in a trailer on a resort island full of rich

3.5 stars. I enjoyed the writing style, but the ending felt rushed and I don't think the author did a great job balancing breezy teen romance with some of the darker elements that emerge later in the novel.
