Reasons to Lie

Overall Rating: 4/5

Short and sweet, I easily finished this novel within a few hours of picking it up today.

Set within the preppy halls of a prestigious NYC private school, this focuses on the life of the mothers and their kids that are now taking classes within the school....

As you read though, the story behind Reasons to Lie becomes much more detailed than what it first seems like when you first begin. This isn't your typical "whodunit?'" but blends elements of that with a deep, rich emotional sort of tone that goes into exploring intimate topics such as deception, and how it can not only affect others, but affect oneself as well. The plot was well thought out, though some parts could've been cut shorter, and there did not have to be quite as many characters as was presented, but overall, Emily did a fantastic job as a whole.
