Seven Ways We Lie
by Riley Redgate
lighthearted
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Loveable characters:
No
The concept of this book is intriguing. Seven characters with each one correlating to one of the 7 deadly sins. (Note: this isn’t about religion)
Overall, not my favorite book, but I knew that going into it. I know I’m not a fan of school aged characters who are mainly at school.
It was nice to see some representation. Until this book, I’ve never seen any pansexual characters in any form of media. I hate that they were outed.
I’m also on the fence with how I feel about this specific teacher/student relationship. Given the details laid out in the book, I’m having a hard time feeling like it’s wrong.
