The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

The Lie That Binds is a YA romance story. It is a story where one has a secret and lies to keep that secret just to keep the cool kids from finding out. But the cool kids are cruel. There are bullies and mean girls, popular and unpopular groups, all those usual cliques. Nothing any teenager doesn’t go through when in high school. There is the usual teenage angst, lies and secrets, fear and pain. It is a rather emotional read to see what length some will go through because of the fear of what others think. I really wanted to knock some heads together and hug others. I really loved Amy’s other two books but there were times where I felt that the story was repetitive and others where it lulled making it hard for me to be fully immersed in this world.

Nathan feels he needs to lie to protect himself. He bullies others to keep the lime light off himself and his secret. But along comes Holly and what starts out as pretend becomes so much more.

If you enjoy teenage high school dramas and romance, then this is for you.
