I’ve been a little upset with Tree in this series, but I came around to looking forward to her book. It was definitely a ride. I really enjoyed it. I love how each of these books really has a different feel. I can’t wait for the next boxset!!
When I started reading The Lies We Tell, I wasn’t sure I was going to like the main character, Trieste. But within a few pages, I was hooked and read the book in one sitting. Trieste’s spoiled rich-girl exterior hides a long list of insecurities that echo through the story. But in reality, Trieste is a compassionate, talented and intelligent young woman.
The Lies We Tell is knitted tightly with the rest of the books in the series, which tell the love stories of Trieste’s inner circle of high school friends. At times, I found the crossover stories—though interesting—a little distracting from the main plot.
Trieste became a character I was really rooting for, by the end, but I wish I’d had opportunity to get to know the real Felix once the truth was out about him. Overall, this is a sweet love story, with a fun set of characters and an interesting plot. I highly recommend it.
This was such a great book with a lot of circumstances that both Trieste and Felix goes through. It shows that you cant judge a book by its cover. Trieste wants her mothers attention and Felix is there to help her through the ruff times.
This book is the third book in the series and I think I liked it the best. Have fun reading this series and as you read them think about what each one of them is trying to tell you.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A very realistic look at how difficult life in high school can be. Everything has an impact on your day to day life. What clothes you wear, what friends you have, what table you eat lunch at, the list goes on and on. I love the way Kylie Key is able to write the characters to be very realistic as well as the different classroom and social situations.
Can two completely different personalities find enough commonalities to lead to love?
This book has plenty of teen angst as the protagonists work out their relationship in and out of the classroom.
She covers her insecurities and desire to be close to her mother with make-up, spending and attitude.
He hides behind his geek persona, keeping people at just the right distance not to reveal his big secret.
As they are forced to work together, can they each begin to see beyond the mask to the real person beneath?

This was a great book. I loved the moral and how friendship left such a deep impression. This book was so strong. It was well connected and transitioned well. I love Trieste. She had many secrets that she had kept hidden. Her love interest, Felix, was also a great character. They were both portrayed as not completely perfect no matter what they showed. I loved that Trieste grew throughout the novel as she uncovered many more secrets. She cared and wasn’t snob that everyone thought her to be. I didn’t like her much the last novels but this story really opened my eyes.
This story follows Trieste. She is named after a city in Italy. She has many secrets. Stuff that she has kept hidden from her friends because she is simply embarrassed. She believes they would judge. She doesn’t know what she wants to be when she is older. All of her friends do. She joins a graphic design class just because she feels like it. SHe’s a bit nervous at first because she doesn’t know anyone. There, she is sat besides Felix who at first glance is rude and downright arrogant. As the class goes on, she learns more. She starts liking him. But he also has a secret. “But the lies we tell…they’ll catch up with us eventually.”
I wrote this voluntary review in exchange for an ARC copy.
