I find it very tiresome when we go into a long drawn out flashback and then jump back into the present narrative. I also liked the parallel narrative between the present and what exactly happened six months ago that had everyone treating her like a social outcaste. The narrative was well paced and moved along without trying to engineer a certain emotional reaction by lingering too long in certain parts while skimming over others.
Quinn’s life takes a major u-turn where she suddenly finds herself being shunned by everybody.įor the most part, I liked the way novel progressed. To make matters worse, Carey soon deploys and gains a nearly demigod-like status. The town she lives in is mostly populated by either serving marines and their families or ex-marines so for marine wives (and girlfriends) the worst thing one can probably do, is cheat on their marine husbands (or boyfriends) The event that changed Quinn’s life is that there is a photograph that shows her in a compromising situation with someone who is not her boyfriend, Carey. So yeah, life was great, up until a certain event that changed everything. Things seem to going well for her, she was dating the local town recipient of most-likely-to-make-them-proud award, she was getting good grades and had great friends. The main character in this book is Sophie Topper Quinn and she lives with her father in small town called Sweethaven.
I honestly wasn’t sure if I would like If I Lie and I wasn’t pleasantly surprised to find that I did like it, quite a bit. I had previously read Touched by Corrine Jackson and I liked it enough to want to read the next book in the series.
