This topic is open for discussion of Deadly Little Lies by Laurie Faria Stolarz



Book Synopsis:
Last fall, sixteen-year-old Camelia fell for Ben, a new boy at school who had a very mysterious gift – psychometry, the ability to sense the future through touch. But just as Camelia and Ben's romance began to heat up, he abruptly left town. Brokenhearted, Camelia has spent the last few months studying everything she can about psychometry and experiencing strange brushes with premonition. Camelia wonders if Ben's abilities have somehow been transferred to her.

Ben returns to school, but he remains aloof, and Camelia can't get close enough to share her secret with him. Camelia makes the painful decision to let him go and move on. Adam, the hot new guy at Knead, seems good for her in ways Ben wasn't. But when Camelia and Adam start dating, a surprising love triangle results. A chilling sequence of events uncovers secrets from Ben’s past – and Adam's. Someone is lying, and it's up to Camelia to figure out who – before it's too late.

I just finished reading thee first book in the series, so I'm looking forward to this starting!

[Trinity]

Chapter 1 ➜ Chapter 10 - I am so sad right now. (view spoiler)[Why is Ben acting like this? ugh! I loved Ben so much, I don't want him to be like this. I am getting worried about what happened to her in the bathroom and who it was standing outside her window. I think it was Ben who was outside her window but the note, something isn't right. It doesn't seem like a joke to me. I do think that she is in danger. I don't like how she acts to Adam, she is acting so rude and I want her to stop. There can't be any coincidences on why she is sculpting like that, but what does it mean? (hide spoiler)]

[Karla]

This is what I think: (view spoiler)[Ben is trying to protect himself. He doesn't want what happened with Julie to happen with anyone else. I don't think it was Ben outside Camelia's window. She was rude to Adam because she is on edge. He came out of nowhere and it scared her. Then she sculpted the bottle he was carrying and that freaked her out. (hide spoiler)]

I'm up to chapter 12. (view spoiler)[I think Cameilia's aunt Alexia is psychometric. I think she predicted the future through her art and Camelia is able to do the same thing (hide spoiler)]

I agree with everything you said.

[Trinity]

Chapter 10 ➜ Chapter 40 - (view spoiler)[Hmm, I honestly do not know who this person can be. I hope that Camelia talks to aunt Alexia, I think out of everyone who she has tried talking to, aunt Alexia would be the best. (hide spoiler)]

[Trinity]

Chapter 40 ➜ Chapter 50 - (view spoiler)[Aw, it feels so weird to see Ben act like this. I mean, at first he was giving her the worst cold shoulder and now he is likes touching her now. Everything is getting so mysterious. I don't know who I like better, Ben or Adam? I really like them both. I am starting to wonder who it really was who it Debbie, there was a dent and blood on the front of the car for goodness's sake! I don't know what to think now. (hide spoiler)]

[Karla]

I'm in the middle of chapter 14, so I haven't read your spoilers, but this is what I'm thinking (view spoiler)[Adam is the one who left the notes. He was the person who Julie cheated on Ben with and he is out to mess up Ben's life because of Julie. I could be completely off base, but it's a theory. Even if it isn't Adam, I still think it is the person Julie was cheating with.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Ooooh, I am going to wait until you get further into the book before I say anything lol.

[Trinity]

I finished (view spoiler)[I thought this one was pretty okay, I mean it wasn't as great as I thought the first one was but it was decent. I was happy at the ending when they were together again, I just wish there was a little more action towards the ending than there was. I suspected Debbie, but I was also thinking it was Adam. The way he kept saying how much he fell for her, I thought it was him big time. I didn't suspect that it was the guy Julie cheated with. (hide spoiler)]

I agree with you, (view spoiler)[Camelia needs to talk to her aunt. They clearly have the same thing. (hide spoiler)]

Trinity wrote: "Chapter 40 ➜ Chapter 50 - [spoilers removed]"

It didn't actually say (view spoiler)[that the red stuff on the car was blood. It could be paint from another car (hide spoiler)]

I was right! I don't know what it was about Adam that made me think that!

I started to think that (view spoiler)[Debbie was the person behind the photos, but I still thought Adam was the guy Julie cheated with. (hide spoiler)] I liked the book.
