White Lies

by Mark O'Sullivan

A rollercoaster story of real love. For Nance, it begins with the photo she finds in her adoptive mother's room-a photo of herself as a black baby, with the parents she has never known. For OD, it begins with his father's decision to buy a trumpet-and with Mick Moran's strange visit to the Town Park building site where OD works. Both of them need to know the truth before their lives-and their relationship-can go on. But as their search continues, they discover that everybody has secrets-and that the truth is never as simple as it seems.

Eh, not really for me. Short but still took me a lot of motivation to get myself to finish (I even started it in like 2023 or 2024 and quit LOL). I guess I wasn’t expecting the ending that Nance’s mom was her birth mom the whole time but wasn’t really interested enough to care

Gave it three stars because although I liked the idea of what the author was trying to do with this book, it didn't really "flow" well for me.

I didn't really connect with the characters and for me the story wasn't as well developed as it could have been. All of the events happened too fast and left me feeling as if I was missing something in regards to the storyline.

While reading from 2 POVs can be interesting and give different perspectives, in this instance it felt forced and jumbled.

Orijinal isminden Günışığından çıkan Beyaz Yalanlar kitabının farklı versiyonu olduğunu anladım ve şaşırdım :D başarılıydı. Blog yazısı yakında...
