Rendition Concering Books If I Lie
A powerful debut novel about the gray space between truth and perception.Quinn’s done the unthinkable: she kissed a guy who is not Carey, her boyfriend. And she got caught. Being branded a cheater would be bad enough, but Quinn is deemed a traitor, and shunned by all of her friends. Because Carey’s not just any guy—he’s serving in Afghanistan and revered by everyone in their small, military town.
Quinn could clear her name, but that would mean revealing secrets that she’s vowed to keep—secrets that aren’t hers to share. And when Carey goes MIA, Quinn must decide how far she’ll go to protect her boyfriend…and her promise.

I knew it... from the very first chapter of this book I was hooked. I didn't put it down for 3.5 hours and I didn't want to, I had to keep turning pages to find out what would happen next.Right off the bat you know this book is going to break your heart, but in subtle ways. I can admit - it takes A LOT to make me cry and though I wasn't crying while reading this, I was sniffling ... a lot. (I'm claiming allergies) So here's the deal, Quinn, or Sophie Topper Quinn, has done something theThis review can also be found on The Dreaming Reader.I don't know if I can write a review that will fully articulate the impact that this book had on me.If I Lie is a contemporary read that is fully contemporary. It has none of those charming happy endings or fluffy kisses. Instead, it contains nothing but reality and the fact that even when things become the worst that they can be, there's nothing to do but remain stoic and keep trying to escape.Sophie's story is not an easy one to read. She is
5/5 stars-------SPOILER-------Ok so I pretty much adore this book. It has everything; secrets, tears, tragedy, love, fear, hurt, devastation, renewal, everlasting bonds and above all friendship.I know that Carey is gay and all and left her to fend for herself while he went off to war but I just couldn't bring myself to hate him. It was obvious that while he was not in love with Quinn(Sophie) he did lover her. The only thing I would change would be that Quinn and Blake end up together. I love
Sometimes a moment defines you, defines how people see you for the rest of your life.What an emotional journey! If I Lie by Corrine Jackson has been on my wishlist for quite a while because the premise hooked me pretty fierce. Now after finishing this novel, Im happy to say I was definitely NOT disappointed. It was worth every minute of the wait and every emotional punch delivered throughout the book. This book is packed to the brim with relevant themes such as friendship, sacrifice, loss,
Read This Review & More Like It On My Blog!This is just so so good, from start to finish. I'm still having a hard time putting coherent thoughts about it together, but If I Lie made me cry, oh, once every 75 pages or so. It's gripping, and touching, and altogether beautiful in several ways. This is a book that made me feel things (All the feelings!), that made me care intensely about its wide cast of multi-dimensional characters people; all in all, this is a damn good book and I literally
I hate this book. The whole plot is rage inducing. Carey is a coward and Blake is a douche. Some of the books I've read recently have very strong protagonists and so when I read Sophie I was disappointed. I did not like her meekness or suffer in silence attitude.
When I was in high school, I became fascinated with POW's from Vietnam. I was haunted by the idea that these guys had never come home. Who were they? Where were they? And what had they left behind? I "adopted" a missing soldier and wore my MIA bracelet until it wore out and broke in half. When I was in college, I was a girlfriend of a guy who was in the army. Then I married him--making me a military wife. I fell in love with this fierce, dedicated, kind, bigger-than-life community. And sometimes
