mayela 's review for:
The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
by Chelsea Sedoti
A compelling, well-written contemporary mixed with mystery elements that I read in one sitting because I wanted to know how it'd end.
The plot moves along at a good pace for the mystery to keep you hooked and Hawthorn, the protagonist, has a very unique voice. Some readers might find her a tad annoying but she reminded me of being her age, of having anxiety about everything and of feeling incredibly inadequate in my own skin and thinking everyone else seemed to have it much easier.
I don't want to give away the ending but I felt it was supremely realistic, much better than any other possible options, and it forced Hawthorn to grow up a lot.
I'd recommend this to anyone who reads YA contemporary.
NetGalley and Sourcebooks kindly provided me with a digital ARC of this book.
