7 hours. That's how long it took me to read this outstanding book. I started reading this about 10 pm and the next thing I know, it's 5 am and I'm finishing the last page. I was so engrossed in the story I didn't realize the sun had started to come up. I spent the next day (or current day if we're being technical) with a book hangover. I wouldn't take it back though. No regrets. One Tiny Lie was worth every lost hour of sleep. This is a must read!One Tiny Lie focuses on Livie Cleary - good girl to the max. Livie has a plan - attend Princeton, go to medical school, and live up to her father's last words - "Make me proud". No pressure, right?! Livie is met with a crazy new roommate, an unorthodox therapist, and a few boys that give her a run for her money. One boy, Connor, is her perfect match on paper. The other, Ashton, is captain of the row team and trouble waiting to happen. Livie's life gets complicated and the one-time straight A student finds herself struggling with school, avoiding jell-o shots, and questioning her medical school plans.Livie is used to being the perfect girl with her life all mapped out. From the moment she lost her parents she has become the girl who took care of everything. I loved getting to watch Livie grow and blossom. The more she branches out the more she becomes her own person - sarcastic, kind, and strong. K.A. Tucker has a way of writing characters that make you love them for their strengths and weaknesses and it's so easy to become invested in their stories.One Tiny Lie is the follow-up novel to K.A. Tuckers Ten Tiny Breaths. Having read both, I can say that you can read OTL without having read TTB. However, I think you'd be shortchanging yourself if you don't read them both.
