Where the Truth Lies by Anna Bailey

4.0

---

This was a really well written, solid story line, well developed character book. This book was also a bit too close to ugly reality for me. Religious fervor leading people to do despicable things. Homophobia, xenophobia, abuse, etc. You name it and it was taking place in the small town of Whistling Ridge, CO. It was all the things that make my heart hurt about our country right now. I am not sure that is what the author intended, but I struggled reading it for those reasons. Just like I struggle to watch the evening news. So while I would highly recommend reading this book, I might suggest girding yourself for some ugly topics and planning a cute fluffy book to follow.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria books for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
