So, someone explain the title again please. What’s the one tiny lie? I have yet to read Ten Tiny Breaths, but I picked this thinking another it would be another New Adult easy read, both the drama and the sexy notwithstanding. And indeed all those are present because I need a quick read (if just to pad my reading challenge before the year is up) But seriously, this wasn’t bad… too bad:

Another girl with a past; another boy with a past his own… both whose lives are complicated by boy-perfect’s presence as well as complicated some more by people in authority doing the most unexpected things. (Doctor… are you a doctor?)

Not quite simple though… yes, there’s boy-girl-boy troubles, but it’s their respective histories that make for an interesting read. There’s Livie and her good girl directed-ness, who life is shaken up on purpose by the doctor who does not read like one. There’s Ashton, bad boy and forever girl… I still don’t get him, but sexy, things got with him in the picture. Then take all those declarations of forever girl and I love you (maybe?) and man, the drama level did sky rocket, yes?

It’s OK… sometimes implausible with the declarations; sometimes nonsensical in who is who for another but at least it’s quick.
