While initially their stories are laid out individually, and they only overlap occasionally in the hallways of their high school, a twist of fate brings them together at a pivotal turn within the book, and from that moment onward they're bound by a secret that's not theirs to share.įirst of all, let's take a moment to admire the strikingly original cover which not only stands out on a bookshelf in stores, but looks absolutely gorgeous displayed forward-facing on my special YA bookcase. Covering topics such as sexuality, mental health and forbidden romance, this is a novel that doesn't hold back on the many different insecurities and issues that the main characters are struggling with throughout. This is the story of seven teenagers, each trying to make it through their formative years as unscattered as possible, which is easier said than done. It is one of the best contemporary novels I've read in a while and I would absolutely recommend you pick it up. Seven Ways We Lie is a very clever and important young adult book, covering a range of different issues facing teenagers today in an honest and engaging way, and with a fantastically gripping mystery at its core. Abrams & Chronicle is a new publisher I'm working with this year and if the first novel I read through their bloggers list (from their Amulet imprint) is anything to go by I will be in for a treat.
