The Kindest Lie by Nancy Johnson

3.75

3.5 to 3.75 stars.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. Nancy Johnson did a great job setting the tone and timeline, crafting complex characters, and maintaining interest in Ruth's story. I wasn't as captivated by Midnight's perspective and found Ruth's story alone compelling. I would have preferred his story presented without flipping between Ruth's and Midnight's POVs.

I recommend this book to those intrigued by the synopsis and those who enjoy family/community drama and mysteries.
