I started the first day of 2019 with Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I’ve read a few reviews last year but decided to pick this up after one of my favourite bookish podcasts, Bad On Paper, picked this book for their podcast book club. It didn’t disappoint!

If you are into Pretty Little Liars, I think you’d enjoy Little White Lies a lot. The story itself follows the story of a girl named Sawyer Taft who received a visit from her grandmother and offered to join the world of high society that her mother left behind. Driven by her curiousity to find her father, she left behind her mother and her job as a mechanic to be part of the debutante season. What comes next is Sawyer navigating this new world and all its secrets.

A little warning, you may get impatient at the beginning of this book because the book started out slow, like really slow. However, I thank my lucky star that I didn’t stop reading. The story picked up it pace once we know what happened to Grace.

In the span of two years, Grace lost his father to heart attack and placed in foster care after she was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend, Owen. She was unable to tell anyone anything about that night because she was ashamed and plus Owen is her best friend’s older brother.

I received an ARC of Brave Enough from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The book will be released on August 21st 2018 by Flux.

I have to start this review by congratulating and thanking Kati Gardner for this beautiful and brilliant debut novel. As someone who loves books about ballet dancers (you may have witnessed my love for Tiny Pretty Things and Shiny Broken Pieces on the blog), I knew I had to read this one as soon as I read the synopsis. Although there is a twist in Brave Enough; the ballerina has cancer.
