Linsey's Reviews > The Thing About the Truth

First of all I was completely intrigued with the description of this book and the cover so I immediately added it to my wishlist. The whole story was established around one lie and the misunderstandings of the two kind of stuck up teens. Don't get me wrong I love a little teen drama (obviously), but they (Kelsey and Issac) were bent out of shape over relatively small issues (daddy and anger problems) that never get resolved. Sure Kelsey beats the mess out of an almost-award-winning smart car that her ex MADE as in his own hands kind of made, but other than that she is a little shallow and self-centered. I suppose I was expecting her to have some bigger secrets in her closet than the one she did. I just did not feel that connected to Kelseys character. My two favorite characters were Chloe and Marshall. Marshall and the part about the cake is hysterical, and the fact that he keeps wanting to go to Chilis really had me cracking up. Chloe to me, had more depth and character than any of the others, and I wish I knew how her story ended. Chloe, Marshall, and the cover are the only real saving points for me. Another disappointment is the ending. I know our two shallow main characters got their relationship resolution but what about their punishment? That was one of the things the entire story was built around. Overall, nowhere near what I thought it was going to be. It was okay when I was thinking it was goning to be great.
