While reading the first part of this book I was very confused by the slang I encountered and I am hoping that it is because it is British slang and not because I am so old and out of touch with teenagers.Once the switch occurred the story took me away. There is a number of characters with different problems(real, everyday problems) that add to the story. I enjoyed each character discovering themselves or for the teenagers, becoming themselves.It is no wonder that Lisi thinks that fibbing is ok. The people she most admires, her mother and her teacher are hiding things and lying about them. Also on that note, for things to get back to normal for the characters, they need to stop lying but, in my opinion, they are lying by living each others lives. I appreciate that it is a story with a happy ending and all must come out right in the end but I find that it is lying if you show teaching credentials as your own but that it is ok to act as that teacher a little wishy washy.All in all, enjoyed the story and am grateful for the free copy I received in order to review it. This was a quick read with a lot to it. I did enjoy it and give it a very nice 4 stars.
