Two Truths and a Lie, by Sara Shepard

Two Truths and a Lie, by Sara Shepard, is the third mind boggling book in the Lying Game series. Emma continues her search for Sutton's murderer while pretending to be her at the same. When Thayer mysteriously shows up, Emma and Sutton have high suspicions that he may be the murderer. Sutton's memories prove that they were together that horrible night, but could he really kill the girl he might've loved? And what about the hatred that Laurel seemed to develop for "Sutton" after Thayer showed up? One more question that remains unanswered: Where did Thayer get the limp that destroyed his soccer career?

This series has yet to disappoint me. Sara Shepard incessantly proves herself to be an amazing writer and I love reading her books. One thing I love about this book is the author makes it seem that every suspect is the murderer. Every time Emma is skeptical of someone, the reader feels almost certain that it is the murderer. Shepard's writing style is also one I highly favor. She always has a unique way of narrating the story. In this case, it is through the dead twin sister with very little memories. For me, the unorthodox way of writing is very appealing. I recommend this fantastic book to teenage girls at least 14 because they would enjoy the plot line and be able to relate to several events.

-Reviewed by Kristine K, grade 9.
