Genre- A suspense novel
Lie is a book about a 17 year old girl named Skylar, who is dating an older boy named Jimmy. Jimmy is the bad boy stereotype who gets himself into trouble. He gets into an argument with a couple of Salvadorian brothers from the next town over and then he gets accused for badly hurting them. Skylar is a smart; when she gets brought to the police station for questioning, she keeps quiet. She doesn’t want to be a part of what happened and she doesn’t want to turn her boyfriend in; she’s just a young girl who kind of gets dragged into this whole mess and tries to figure out how to get out. As she tries her best to protect Jimmy, she slowly realizes that she is putting herself in jeopardy and she is starting to feel guilty for the whole thing.
Skylar and jimmy get caught up in a big web of lies when they are interrogated at the police station. Skylar should be at school right now she exclaims, yet she and Jimmy are stuck at the police station being questioned harshly. The police man says, “No one hurts two Mexican men just for fun” especially not someone who has a lot going for themselves. So that’s just crazy talk. But in fact it might not be so crazy after all. Two guys are brutally hurt and someone is behind this.
The neighbors start to question Skylar and she denies that a fight happened when in fact it did, and what she doesn’t know was that the neighbor saw but doesn’t tell her.
This book is based on a true even that took place. And Caroline bock is expressing how it all happened in the first place.
Recommendations- I recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery stories with such high suspense. This book is exciting and has many twists. It really caught my attention and is a really great book.
