My Thoughts:This book was provided from the author for an honest review."You have no idea how completely floored I felt that a girl could so instantly take all my control and direction and all that I knew to be normal, and turn it completely and utterly upside down."I will begin this review by stating that I don't really read young adult or new adult books. I have been lucky enough to read some good ones such as Easy and Beautiful Disaster. For me, Pieces of Lies was right up with an immersive story, interesting characters, and a unique plot. This was definitely not a cookie-cutter story but an intriguing one with its many twists and turns. Every character in Pieces lied about something -- lies to protect something or lies to gain something. But, the intersection of those lies is what created such a dynamic and interesting tale.I did have a few issues with the story that kept it from being a five star read. First, the book is definitely in need of a good edit. I noticed missed words and misspelled words. Second, as with many books in the YA/NA genre, it was a bit too angsty for me. But, notwithstanding these issues, Pieces of Lies was a well done story that left the reader waiting for "what's next" at the end.Reading Time: 4.5 Hours
