The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent – Review by Megan Pesek

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

Nathan is popular, but not because he’s overly friendly. Holly is the new girl and wants to fit in. Nathan and his buddies are mean to Holly and those who become her ‘misfit’ friends. That changes when Holly witnesses an event that Nathan never wanted anyone outside of his immediate family to see. In his 17-year-old mind, his secret is so terrible that he is willing to do anything to keep it his secret, even fake a relationship with Holly.

Nathan’s plan fails when he falls in love with Holly. In true teenage form, he thinks lying is better than telling the truth.

The characters were well-developed. You could relate to their feelings and how they changed throughout the story. There seemed to be quite a bit of repetition at times that took my attention from the plot.

Overall, it was a great story about the power of honesty, friendship, and love.
