I think this was the perfect companion book to Ten Tiny Breaths, and did Livie justice. I was able to connect easily with her and understand why she was doing the things she was. Her inner conflict was written beautifully and it felt so REAL. I couldn't put the book down, even though I wanted to drag it out and make it last as long as possible. I thought Ashton (the Jell-o shot theif) was completely swoon-worthy and the conflict he dealt with was written just as easily as Livie's. I REALLY thought I was going to start out hating him, but it's impossible, because he has a heart and he truly cares for Livie. Connor got on my nerves after a while, I felt like whenever Livie tried to talk to him about how she was feeling, he'd shoot her down with something like, "You're perfect." Whereas Ashton listened to her. There was one thing that happened, involving a picture, that had me almost in the verge of tears, because that proved to me that Ashton was in love with Livie. I also LOVED Reagan (Livie's roommate) and her boyfriend Grant. The whole cast of characters in this book and in Ten Tiny Breaths, are written so beautifully that you can't help but love them. (Except for Connor, haha) I didn't feel like there was a dull moment in this book and I found myself holding my breath for the next time Livie would run into Ashton and wondering what would happen. Did I love this book as much as Ten Tiny Breaths? No...Yes...I don't know. I feel like Livie's book is so incredibly different from Kacey's that it's hard to compare the two. I do know that I'm still thinking about this book and missing these characters like they're people I know...and that's the beauty of K.A. Tucker's writing. She writes characters that are real and makes you feel like you know them, so that when you finish the book, it feels like you're saying goodbye to a good friend.  I can't wait for Ben and Cain's story and I hope we get to know more about how Kacey & Livie are doing and what's going on in their lives. I really hope we see them both grow up even more. If you loved Ten Tiny Breaths, this is a must read, and even if you didn't read it, there's no reason why you can't pick up One Tiny Lie. I can tell you that both of these books are among my all time favorites. I can't wait to own them in paperback and they're both books that I would highly recommend.
