To say I've been waiting patiently for this book would be a lie. Ever since I read Ten Tiny Breaths last year, I've been checking regularly on K.A. Tuckers' website and Facebook page for an updates. I wasn't even sure what to expect from Livie's story since she's always been portrayed as perfect and nice. In the end, I enjoyed One Tiny Lie but it wasn't as good as the first book.There were things I liked about Livie but there were also a lot of things I didn't really like about her. I'm in the same age group as Livie so a lot of the things that she feels and is going through are really relate-able for me. She truly comes off as "too freaking perfect" and I hate how she's always doing what she things she should do rather then what she actually wants to do. But that's pretty much Livie's story. She doesn't really know who she is, even though she won't admit it to herself. I think my main problem was even though at times I wanted to dislike Livie, I couldn't because I completely understood how she was feeling. That probably sounds confusing but that's the best way I can explain my feelings about her.I felt a lot of conflicting feelings when it came to Ashton as well. He's incredibly hot, has lots of sex appeal, which automatically equals to a man whore. And that really bothered me, especially in the beginning. He was so hot and cold when it came to Livie. He would talk about how he couldn't be with her and how she's should stay with Connor (who's his best friend) and then he'll kiss her anyway! I'm sorry but that sounds like a mixed message to me! Regardless, as the story progressed and I got to know him more, I ended up loving him. But there's this small part of him that secretly wants to kick him.I'm not really a big fan of love triangles and I especially didn't enjoy the one in this story. I just can't help but feel like the love triangle wasn't necessary. I understand why she put it but I don't think that it needed to go as far as it did. I felt so bad for Connor; he's such a great guy and I hate how much Livie led him on.I talked a lot about things I didn't really like but there were also a lot of moments that really made this book for me. Like the supporting characters. I loved Livie's roommate and Ashton's little group of friends. They're so funny and every scene with them put a smile on my face. I really hope we get to see more of them in future books though I doubt we will. It was also really great seeing the characters from the last book, especially Trent. He's still number one in my heart though Ashton is up there as well.Overall I really enjoyed this edition to the series. I can't wait to read the next book and get to know Cain better. If you haven't read this series yet, I would suggest reading the first book and then moving on to this book. You don't have to but I think you would be really missing out if you didn't read about Kacey and Trent's story.*Received from NetGalley and Atria publishing in exchange for an honest review.
