Not another hormone-driven stupid girl who wants to meet Mr McHotty ( no, seriously)", this evolved into a nice moral dilemma story that had more twists and turns ( and slow reveals) than a Poirot versus Broadchurch episode. I was genuinely surprised and sucked in completely as the story unfolded. Yes, there were clumsy moments, but over all I found it quite a fresh, tight little murder mystery. ( ) My goodness - what a roller coaster ride this turned out to be. It started slowly, but gradually as 'truths' were revealed the plot picked up pace and became a real page-turner. There were so many twists and turns, secrets, betrayals, lies and moral dilemmas that I was left guessing until the end. Just when I thought I might have an idea where the book was heading, the author delivered another revelation and threw me for a loop. The resolution was a bit too neat but, overall, this was a great murder mystery for YA readers. Full of deception and intense emotions, LITTLE WHITE LIES doesn't hold back once the truth starts unfolding - it will knock you down, over and over again. Once you start reading this book, you won't be able to put it down... murder, love, lies, and complicated relationships... Our dear sweet Lou has moved to start at a new school, with a new alias, to escape a tragedy that happened the year before. She doesn't want anyone to know who she is, not even her roommate. It seems that Lou is determined to start over - new haircolor, new town, new friends. Perhaps even a new crush? Our aloof and dapper Christian is in no hurry to get to know Lou. Overly cautious, Christian keeps his distance and continues to make excuses, and pushes Lou away. But the girl is adamant. Where another girl would have given in to rejection, Lou is determined to figure out what Christian's story is, and how to help him. She needs to get to know him. And more importantly, she needs to know what his secrets are... Little do we know that Lou is more than what she seems. Christian's life starts to unravel right before our eyes. And Lou is anxious to help him. But at what cost? And what are Lou's secrets? Is she running away from something? Or hiding? And what do they have to do with Christian? LITTLE WHITE LIES is more than just its title - it is a huge web of lies! And everyone that discovers even the smallest bit of truth is thrust into the web and stuck in for good, until the very end! The suspense and thrill of every fact was believable and eventful! I was second guessing every character on every page... all the characters are engaging and amazing too! It's hard to choose a favorite, they all fit in so well! There aren't enough words to describe how well Lou and Christian's story unravels... Katie Dale's writing is captivating, intriguing and spellbinding! There is no way to predict the outcome of this story - everything just happens! If you're like me, too eager to know where the story is going, you will miss tiny little hints here and there. By the time I started to make any sort of prediction about any of the characters, things were unfurling right before me and taking a twist and turn for the worst... This is definitely a book for PRETTY LITTLE LIAR fans! A good mystery, drama and outcome! Read it now!!! *A hardcover copy was sent to me from the publisher for the blog tour for an honest review.
