Lies You Never Told Me by Jennifer Donaldson
5.0
I often remember the ABC After School Special (late 70s) about the 13 year old girl who got herself involved with her guitar teacher. She lied about her age, and when he wanted to take it further she revealed her age and he broke it off. I identified with her, wanting to be more adult than she/I was, beginning to experience puberty in a home she/I wanted to escape from.
This is not that, more like one of those after school specials combined with a lifetime movie of the 90s. Like, more gritty, and more innocence plundered. In this case, the man knew she was underage and targeted her.
And the writing is so crisp and authentic I didn't want to stop listening. Would Elise wake up to this man being a predator, not a lover? Would her male counterpart Gabe get free from his predatory stalking ex-girlfriend unscathed? Would they be heartbroken? Would they survive?
