ONE TINY LIE
by K.A. Tucker
Livie has always been the stable one of the two Cleary sisters, handling her parents' tragic death and Kacey's self-destructive phase with strength and maturity. But underneath that exterior is a little girl hanging onto the last words her father ever spoke to her. “Make me proud,” he had said. She promised she would...and she’s done her best over the past seven years with every choice, with every word, with every action.
Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy that she’s going to someday marry. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots, a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say ‘no’ to, and Ashton, the gorgeous captain of the men’s rowing team. Definitely him. He’s an arrogant ass who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare and everything she doesn’t want in a guy. Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?
As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn’t have, she’s forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.

If I were in a New Adult book, I'd want to be like I am now lol! I would probably make me not have such a smart mouth, but sometimes that could come in handy lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway :)
I'm not sure if the question means what I look like if I were in a New Adult novel (because that answer is super simple- I look gorgeous, my only flaw being my super high metabolism!) or what I look for in my perfect NA read. For me New Adult has to up the YA game, but still have the things I've come to love in YA- that first really great love, the emotions, but my characters should act a little smarter about their action. Real life should be crouching in on their fun times. There should be important decisions they need to make that effect more than who they go to Prom with.
ReplyDeleteAlso, covers like this one that I just want to hug. :)
