One Tiny Lie is one of those books that I was HIGHLY anticipating for this year. I kept counting down the months, then days, and then it was here. You know you are nervous because, yes, you have these expectations for this book...you are expecting it to blow you away...So, I began right away the minute I received One Tiny Lie. I squealed and did my happy dance!! And then I snuggled in to my reading spot and shut out the world.And then the sad part came...*sighs* yes...I finished the book. I completely devoured it in one sitting. That's right, One Tiny Lie was that freaking good. Truthfully, it was better than good...Great, AMAZING, PHENOMENAL...yeah...just a few words to throw out there to maybe encompass how much I LOOOOOVED this book.I'm not going to lie...I was nervous because I loved Ten Tiny Breaths and was worried that I would be torn between these two books...but One Tiny Lie is nothing like Ten Tiny Breaths. What I felt for TTB and OTL are completely different and the storylines themselves went in separate directions that each book gets their own praise. I am so thankful for that...So, now....how do I feel about One Tiny Lie????I read it a week ago and each time I have tried to write the review, I feel like I can't express everything that I felt while reading One Tiny Lie. But, I am going to try my best and hope that I convey how much OTL affected me.Starting OTL with hearing how Livie is just too damn perfect and that that just isn't right, well, I knew right away this was going to be very interesting. Watching Kacey try to "corrupt" her little sister to only bring her out of her shell was hilarious. Livie's first party as a freshman on campus at Princeton??? Yeah, it was epic and one of those we all should experience...LOL!!This sparks it all...All the events that come after revolve around what happened at this party and let me say...hold on...because you will just keep reading and reading til you find out exactly how it turns out. And thank goodness the fab Dr. Staynor is around keeping tabs on Livie. With his witty exercises and uncomfortable insights, he brings so much to this book. He allows us to see things that maybe we wouldn't have. That is exactly how it is for Livie, especially when it comes to Ashton.Mmmmm.....Ashton.....Whew!!! This guy had me from the beginning right along with Livie. When she got pissed....I would also get pissed right along with her...BUT as we all know...There is always MORE than meets the eye and the journey we take with Livie shows us that.This tale leads a young girl, who thought she had everything planned and figured out, off the beaten path to something that is more fulfilling and gratifying than she could have ever imagined.K.A. Tucker is a brilliant, talented writer who captures me with such powerful, emotional, dynamic characters. They crawl in to your heart and soul....forever embedded. She evokes so much from you through her writing that when you are finished your heart is so filled with all kinds of emotions...you can feel it strumming through your whole body. This is how I feel about One Tiny Lie. It is a masterpiece, a true work of genius by someone who can elicit so much from you through her written word.One Tiny Lie is filled with angst, humor, and of course romance, but it is a story that will speak to your heart, warm your soul, and forever possess your thoughts...
