One Perfect Lie~ Lisa Scottoline Review
Is there such a thing as a perfect lie? Can one get away with living a lie? Does a lie, even if it is for the greater good, still hurt other people? Does the lie hurt the person telling it or living it? These are just some of the questions you will have to read One Perfect Lie to discover the answers.Chris is a man who, from the very beginning, you know isn't who he appears to be. He has a secret and appears to be getting ready to hurt a lot of people. Following his story, you learn that he obtained a job as a high school teacher and baseball coach, with one goal-to become friends with the weak students, all to find out as much as he could about the other boys. At this point, I was wondering exactly who he was and why he was doing it.
I loved how Lisa wrote from multiple view points and the way the stories were woven together, in my opinion, made the story that much better. My heart broke from some of the stories about the boys and their lives. Chris interfering, and trying to hurt them, was disheartening. I couldn't stop reading this book. I had to find out exactly what Chris was lying about and if he was a good guy or a bad guy.
The mystery of what was going on, the realization that you shouldn't judge one family as better or worse as your own because you don't know what they are going through and how hard it is to live a 'normal' life the best you can- when nothing about you is real- had me turning the pages faster and faster.
I had never read a book by Lisa before, but now I will read more by her. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review, via NetGalley,
