Every Single Lie
ByPublisher Description
Nobody in sixteen-year-old Beckett's life seems to be telling the whole story. Her boyfriend Jake keeps hiding texts, which could mean he's cheating on her. Her father lied about losing his job and so much more before his shocking death. And everyone in school seems to be whispering about her and her family behind her back.
But none of that compares to the day Beckett finds the body of a newborn baby in a gym bag—Jake's gym bag—on the floor of her high school locker room. As word leaks out, rumors that Beckett's the mother take off like wildfire in a town all too ready to believe the worst of her.
Beckett soon finds herself facing increasingly dangerous threats and accusations. Nobody believes her side of the story, and as the police investigation unfolds, she discovers that everyone has a secret to hide and the truth could alter everything she thought she knew.
A page-turning thriller set in a small Southern community,
is a jaw-dropping, twisty must-read for fans of

“I don't know why, but this book and I just didn't mesh. I really wanted to like it, but as it went on I found myself speed-reading to get it over with.
My first issue is with the main character, Beckett. I didn't necessarily dislike her, but I felt that her reactions were way off. She's accused of something horrible, and her reaction was so mild. She didn't scream and cry and pronounce her innocence to the world. She was basically like, "People think I hid a pregnancy and abandoned my own dead baby? Oh well, it'll blow over!" I never felt that she was as distraught or upset as she should have been given her situation.
I also felt that the plot was lacking. There's a "twist" toward the end, but I saw it coming from miles away, so there was really no suspense or excitement for me. This book almost had a Groundhog Day-like feel to it, because I felt like the same cycle just kept happening over and over again: a new rumor would pop up about the baby or there would be a development in the case, Beckett would get a new theory and accuse someone of being the baby's parent, and repeat. It just felt kind of slow and boring after a while.
Overall, I can see why people might like this book, but it was too slow and predictable for me. Also, fair warning that this book is pretty dark and covers some really heavy topics.”
