Synopsis: A powerful debut novel about the gray space between truth and perception.
Quinn’s done the unthinkable: she kissed a guy who is not Carey, her boyfriend. And she got caught. Being branded a cheater would be bad enough, but Quinn is deemed a traitor, and shunned by all of her friends. Because Carey’s not just any guy—he’s serving in Afghanistan and revered by everyone in their small, military town.
Quinn could clear her name, but that would mean revealing secrets that she’s vowed to keep—secrets that aren’t hers to share. And when Carey goes MIA, Quinn must decide how far she’ll go to protect her boyfriend…and her promise.

Synopsis: In this humorous love story from the author of Two-Way Street, an unlikely romance is the best sort of surprise—but the wrong secret can ruin everything. Kelsey’s not going to let one mistake ruin her life. Sure, she got kicked out of prep school and all her old friends are shutting her out. But Kelsey’s focused on her future, and she’s determined to get back on track at Concordia High.
Isaac’s been kicked out of more schools than he can count. Since his father’s a state senator, Isaac’s life is under constant scrutiny—but Concordia High’s his last stop before boarding school, so Isaac’s hoping to fly under the radar and try to stay put for a change.
When Kelsey and Isaac meet, it’s anything but love at first sight. She thinks he’s an entitled brat, and he thinks she’s a stuck-up snob. So it surprises them both when they start to fall for each other. Kelsey’s happy for the first time in months, and Isaac’s never felt this way about anyone before...But nothing’s ever completely perfect. Everyone has secrets, and Isaac and Kelsey are no exceptions. These two may have fallen hard, but there’s one thing that can ruin it all: the truth.
Two fantastical must read books for this week. I love the idea for both and how both are set around secrets and the truth. What about you guys? Are you looking forward to these two amazing sounding books?

I like the sound of the first one a bit better. I think I can almost guess the secret, I'll have to check with you after you've read it to see if I'm right.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of those two! Doesn't look like my type, but I hope you enjoy them once you read them!

I feel like If I Lie has been on my TBR list for forever! Cannot wait for it to finally be released. Great picks! :)
ReplyDeleteMy W.O.W.
I've actually never heard of either of these books before but they certainly do sounds interesting. I don't read much contemporary but I think I'll add The Thing About the Truth to my TBR because it sounds like it could be really good.

I like the sound of If I Lie; I have been searching for books featuring characters serving in the military in the present-day and this will definitely be one to consider.
