Perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins.Phoenix can’t imagine anything worse than being shipped off to family summer camp. Her parents have been fighting for the past two years—do they seriously think being crammed in a cabin with Phoenix and her little brother, Harry, will make things better?
On top of that, Phoenix is stuck training with Callum—the head counselor who is seriously cute but a complete know-it-all. His hot-cold attitude means he’s impossible to figure out—and even harder to rely on. But despite her better judgment, Phoenix is attracted to Callum. And he’s promising Phoenix a summer she’ll never forget. Can she trust him? Or is this just another lie?

The incredible cover of Trusting You & Other Lies by Nicole
Williams is a great symbol of this book. For me, it pulled me in to discover
the story behind the two characters, along with the synopsis.
The first detail I notice about a
book is the point of view, which in this case is my favorite to read, first
person. It really lets the reader get inside the character. I believe it gives
readers that feeling of being able to relate and for me as older reader it
gives me a chance to reminisce about the past. Nicole’s writing voice is load
and clear from the beginning. Even before dialogue, I could clearly tell the
mood was young and fun.
Phoenix and Callum were both
great. They grew with each chapter and I liked them more and more. I do wish I
could have gotten inside Callum’s head but I guess that’s what made him more
mysterious. They also had great chemistry. The supporting characters were also distinct.
Whenever I want to read more about side characters, I know the author is
pulling me into the world they created.
Trusting
You & Other Lies
is a story about young love and what we’re willing to do to keep it, about growing
up and facing the challenges of adulthood. I recommend this book to teens and
older readers.
An advance complimentary copy of
this book was supplied by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All
opinions expressed are entirely my own.
Biographies are impossible for me to write without landing somewhere in the realm of lame. Which is ironic since I’m a writer attempting to, you know, do what I do and write. For whatever reason though, trying to sum up who I am is enough to make me rock myself into a psychiatric-something in a dark corner.
I could try explaining what I love: books, writing, adventures, the outdoors, animals, my family, my friends. I could list what I don’t love: hate, needles, narrow-mindedness, pantyhose, celery. I could go into my background and my sources of inspiration, sprinkling throughout witty bits of commentary and the expected author-fare of a few words that make a person scratch their head and reach for a dictionary. But the true biography of who I am is penned on the pages of my books, hidden between the words. Where I’ve been, who I am, where I’m going—it’s all there.
At the end of the day, I’m an open book.
Now that you know who I am, I’d love to get to know who you are. Life is about connections—here’s where you can connect with me:
