A review by danidsfavereads
Nothing But the Truth : A Novel by Holly James

4.0

This one was different than I expected, but I enjoyed it.

On the eve of her 30th birthday, Lucy makes a wish that she has the perfect day. She wakes up the next morning and is unable to lie. She ends up confronting a lot of expectations put on women and her need to not speak about them. She also addresses her long-term relationship and ends up meeting a new man.

This book delves into the topic of sexual harassment at work. The challenges women have with disclosing and what comes after.

I really enjoyed this book and Lucy’s story. I liked how she navigates her “curse” of not being able to lie and ultimately discovers more about herself.

I would definitely recommend this one with the caveat of knowing it’s not as light as the cover makes it seem.
