In the name of literature Gods: I’m so shocked, blabbering meaningless words, extremely shaken to the core. Eyes popped out, jaw dropped, legs turned into jelly. I’m a mess. Actually I’m looking in the mirror and seeing half of my head because the other half is already blown away. I can start my career as B list horror movie star thanks to the help of the book’s tragic and thought provokingly intense, dark , earth shattering story!

This book had such an interesting premise but really fumbled the execution, in my opinion. The book starts out with Beckett finding a dead baby in the locker room at her high school. Rumors start to spread that it was actually hers and she gets branded as a baby killer. So she sets out to find out what really happened. That should be a really enthralling story, right? Not so much.

I guess I've been on a mystery kick lately because I've really been enjoying the mysteries I'm reading.

The plot of this is interesting enough - dead newborn baby found in a duffel bag in a high school locker room. But it's honestly the added layers that were most captivating in this story. Of course, we want to know who the baby's mother is, but the more pressing issue is: how was someone pregnant and no one knew? I liked how it kept Beckett and her family guessing.

The plot of this is interesting enough - dead newborn baby found in a duffel bag in a high school locker room. But it's honestly the added layers that were most captivating in this story. Of course, we want to know who the baby's mother is, but the more pressing issue is: how was someone pregnant and no one knew? I liked how it kept Beckett and her family guessing. Because when you don't know the answer to something like that, everyone becomes a suspect and you question past conversations and actions.

There's also a lot to be said for high school gossip and the fire it can start. All Beckett did was find a baby in a locker room and then she was vilified as a baby killer, because of course, it had to be her baby since she "found" it. We know from the beginning it isn't hers since the story is told in first person perspective so it's that much more enraging when these people in the community are spreading false rumors about a 16 year-old girl. I also liked the added perspective of Jake and Penn applying to college and them being scared of being acquainted with a story like this because it could impact their college acceptance. It's the truth. Social media is both good and bad for a great many things.

I especially liked the author's note at the end where she explained how this was such a personal story to her. It is NOT autobiographical or a memoir of any sort, but she did touch on how she remembered pregnancy/dead baby rumors from when she was in high school. I'm sure every high school has something similar. I definitely remember the pregnancy and abortion rumors. To this day, I can remember who they were about and I still wonder if they were true. Just goes to show that a story like this really can have an impact on someone's life decades later.

This book does have it flaws as some details require quite the stretch of the imagination, but I'm sticking with 4 stars because of how much it made me think and to question my own role in the high school rumor mill. ...more

***Trigger Warnings: Drugs, Alcohol, Death, Overdose, Still Birth, Death of an Infant, Bullying, Death Threats***

Wow. It's been a few days since I finished Every Single Lie and I needed sometime to digest what I read. Not because it was bad, because it was heavy. I been a Rachel Vincent fan for a long time (Since her Soul Eater series) so I was excited when I heard she was coming out with a contemporary novel. Don't get me wrong, Every Single Lie was absolutely amazingly done but I was initially a little apprehensive about it. The subject matter is something that is quite heavy and is going to be triggering for some readers (Trigger Warnings: Drugs, Alcohol, Death, Overdose, Still Birth, Death of an Infant, Bullying, Death Threats.) But Vincent went about this book in a way that made it compelling and something that bought up a lot of things that need to be discussed, failures in the sex education programs and the importance of healing and family.

Watching Beck from the beginning of the book and until the end is something I truly enjoyed. She grew so much as a character and I feel like Vincent left her off on a good spot. Her character was realistic too, she acted like a seventeen year old who is going through this horrible trauma and trying to deal with it as well as the death of her father months earlier. Vincent didn't skip out on any of the parts that would make you want to cry or pull on your heart strings.

My only thing is that I did predict whose baby it was early on in the book, but it was interesting to see how Beck went through different people in her life and how they could be the potential parents when the answer was literally in front of her face the whole time.

Overall I did enjoy Every Single Lie. It was a compelling read that kept me interested from the first page until the very last. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea but if you are looking for a book that is going to make you think long and hard, this is the one for you. ...more

But things aren't adding up, her boyfriend is hiding texts from her, and she's coming to learn that her small home town holds more secrets about her family, and her dad's death, than she originally realised.

I enjoyed this read. It's gripping, suspenseful, and has good pacing. I found myself trying to piece together the mystery with the main character, and I only caught on to the real truth a couple of chapters before they did. This read does talk about some very heavy and serious subject matter including (TW ahead) misscariage, teen pregnancy, addiction, death, suicide, family breakdown, cheating, pedophillia, bullying, and more. However, saying that, this is not a DARK read. It doesn't try to make itself sadder or more serious than it needs to be, and in my opinion, that made it more realistic. Grief, sadness, anger, confusion, are all human emotions and are dealt with through both positivity and negativity.

For me, where this story lacks is in character depth. Why or the story has depth and the family as a whole has depth, I didn't feel like I knew any of the characters specifically that well. I wasn't connected to them on a deeper level, so I wasn't emotionally invested in their story past the level of pure intrigue. I am a character driven reader, so this made a big difference to me. After finishing this book I can't picture any of the characters, and other than age, gender, and relation to one another, I don't know their identities.

Ultimately I recommend this book to anyone looking for a well written and mildly paced contemporary with mystery thrown in that provides commentary on important real life issues. If you struggle with surface level characters this one may be hit or miss for you. For me, the plot made it an enjoyable read nonetheless, and kept me invested until the very end.

(Also big plus for the narration via Audible. It was spot on and the narrator did a fantastic job of portraying emotion in dialogue, which was really vital to my listening experience). ...more

My first five star rating of the year!

When Beckett finds a dead baby in a duffel bag in her school's locker room, her life completely changes. Although Beckett doesn't know anything about what happened to the baby and who the parents are, vicious rumors that Beckett had hidden a pregnancy and then killed her child swarm her small town, eventually blowing up into an internet phenomenon. As if the rumors, gossip, disappointing looks, and death threats aren't enough for one person to deal with, Beckett's boyfriend might be cheating on her, her recently deceased father may have had more problems than she thought, and her mother may have been abusing her position of power. As the investigation becomes increasingly publicized with Beckett being the face of the #babykiller, all the lies she has been surrounded by slowly unfold.

Every Single Lie is a fantastic young adult thriller/mystery. There is not a single dull moment--in fact, I was so hooked that I finished this book in less than 24 hours! Rachel Vincent does an incredible job of making you think you've figured everything out, only to throw another curveball at you when you turn the page. The mystery of the deceased baby and unknown mother was interesting throughout the entirety of the book; it never gets tiring, and even as the plot thickens, each bit of evidence makes sense, rather than feeling forced or unnecessary. I was shocked by the "big reveal" and wasn't disappointed at all. Furthermore, I loved that this was so much more than just a thriller. Vincent incorporated such great conversations about cyberbullying, family, adolescence, and being there for others. This book felt so personal and deep--clearly, dead children are an inherently sad subject, but instead of using this as a crutch to make the book disturbing and emotional, Vincent truly delves into the brains and hearts of her characters so that readers will feel the pain, conflict, and confusion that they are feeling. Everyone is deeply flawed and at some points a bit annoying, judgmental, or selfish, yet I still had a soft spot for all the characters. I think I had a moment with just about every single character where I absolutely hated them but then loved them but then was angry at them but then empathizing with them...and ultimately appreciating them for their complexity.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend Every Single Lie. I know YA thriller isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I thought this one was particularly well done!

Side note: where on earth do I get myself a Jake??

It both inspired me as a writer in terms of its pacing and plot and conversation about real issues, but also drew me in as a reader with those same things, on top of twists and more. It definitely challenged me because I felt like I knew what was going to happen and had guesses of whose baby it was.
(view spoiler)[
I definitely felt like it was pretty realistic. I felt like the author red-herring me from Page 1. First I assumed it was Jake's baby or throughout the whole book that he was apart of a cover up. Then I assumed it was Penn's because he had opportunity and motive to get the gym bag Jake left at their house and the Titans shirt. Then, before Beckett and her mom got the DNA results back from Penn, I started looking at Landry. And it turned out to be right. I found that that was pretty realistic because of everything the family had gone through, that Landry would get caught up in her grief and have had sex and not realize certain things about it until it was too late. It also made sense that in the families grief, that no one would've saw what was happening with Landry too.

I wish Beckett would've sent Jake home when he showed up when the family was telling Fletcher (Lullaby Doe's dad) and his family what happened, because I would've loved to see their reactions more and I felt like we got robbed of that, just to settle what happened with his texts in the beginning. I do also like how Beckett kept spending the book jumping to conclusions and not trusting people and accusing people of stuff. It seemed more realistic of an amateur teen sleuth and also of someone who has been lied to by her drug-addict father and parents trying to protect her.

I didn't like how Beckett instantly blamed Norah (Landry's best friend) for using her and assuming that her only motives were selfishness. I felt like Beckett didn't consider (which this may just be the character's opinion and not necessarily those of the author) that Norah was also a 13 year old girl. I think the author built the character to be more complex and Beckett had realized this lesson about her dad, that he was more gray than black and white, but still hadn't learned to apply this to everyone.

Norah might've liked the social media power and notoriety of being the Crimson Cryer, and maybe even being jealous that her friend was having her crush's baby. But also, being there and taking care for her in this time of need. Because being there for a labor and the emotional pain of losing a child is no joke! I think Beckett forgot that a 13 year old 8th grader probably did not understand how hard it would be to raise a child and what all it would take. And how much work and effort to help her friend have a baby, try to make the baby live and then try to take care of her after the birth emotionally and mentally. I think it was a great disservice to the character, but maybe Beckett needed to blame someone, and it may not have been the author necessarily saying this stuff about her. (hide spoiler)] ...more

Beckett finds herself the center of scrutiny on all sides, rumors that she’s the mother who decided to abandon her child spreading like wildfire through the town. It doesn’t help that the baby was found in her ex-boyfriend’s gym bag…

Y’all, I blew through this book in less than a day. I couldn’t put it down. Always moving, always surprising, always heartbreakingly real. I have zero complaints about this book, except for the fact that it ended too quickly; I sped through it in one afternoon, I was hooked right away. The story begins IMMEDIATELY and every chapter brings with it a revelation of some kind. As a die-hard fan of Rachel Vincent, this was always a must read on my list, but should be a must-read for all fans of any kind of YA fiction.

The characters are relatable. The narrative is wholly engrossing. And the story itself is unputdownable. The twists and turns were expertly executed, to the point that I thought I would have a plot point nailed down, only to be proven wrong, only to find out I was right in the end! But still such a shock!

Every Single Lie was unexpectedly emotional at times. The ease with which Vincent tackles a variety of tough subjects -- bullying, death, and drug abuse to name a few -- is remarkable. And heartbreaking. Definitely not a story for the faint of heart, but also one that I believe will relate to the innate empathy of all readers who pick it up. A super important novel about the power and harm of social media and bullying, and the importance of family, through the good and the bad.

Trigger warning: death, drug abuse/addiction, threats of violence, miscarriage/infant death.

It has been a minute since I was so invested in a YA thriller, usually adult thrillers keep me more invested. But this one is fabulous. Vincent has created a strong narrator with Beck, and I was unable to stop reading once it really got deeper into the events of the story.

This is about how she finds a baby in a bag in the gym, but it is dead. Now the police are trying to find who the baby was and what happened. Beck has all of her own thoughts and ideas about what could have happened, but she knows the baby is not hers and wishes people would stop assuming it was. Especially when the death threats and horrible treatment of strangers online culminate when an anonymous Twitter account starts sharing information about the baby and the events.

This book can be dark at times, which I think is great. I do not want to say dark for YA because that sounds very dismissive of the lives teens live now. We cannot know all of the experiences each teen is facing, and this book shows how abstract yet intense some things that happen in high school can be.

Beck is also dealing with the death of her dad from an opioid overdose, breaking up with her boyfriend, being distanced from her best friend, her mom is a a cop on this baby case, and just having relationships with her siblings. This book has many layers and they connect the story, showing how each event has affected Beck and how she has learned to deal with all of the backlash from people thinking the baby is hers. It is about how social media is all over and haunts people in different ways as well. The social media is large aspect of the book.

This story is quality because the writing is phenomenal, the narrator is real and believable, and the discovery of who the baby belongs to make me go whoa, I did not expect this. This is a great thriller that made me become an instant fan of the author, eager already for her next book.

Beckett (I LOVE HER) is a cop’s daughter and she carries that as part of her identity, no matter where she goes or what she does in town. As a pastor’s kid, I so relate to that.
