Lying Out Loud
by Kody Keplinger
April 28, 2015
304 pages
Goodreads Summary:
Kody Keplinger returns to the world of The DUFF in this brand-new companion novel!
Sonny Ardmore is an excellent liar. She lies about her dad being in prison. She lies about her mom kicking her out. And she lies about sneaking into her best friend's house every night because she has nowhere else to go.
Amy Rush might be the only person Sonny shares everything with -- secrets, clothes, even a nemesis named Ryder Cross.
Ryder's the new kid at Hamilton High and everything Sonny and Amy can't stand -- a prep-school snob. But Ryder has a weakness: Amy. So when Ryder emails Amy asking her out, the friends see it as a prank opportunity not to be missed.
But without meaning to, Sonny ends up talking to Ryder all night online. And to her horror, she realizes that she might actually like him. Only there's one small catch: he thinks he's been talking to Amy. So Sonny comes up with an elaborate scheme to help Ryder realize that she's the girl he's really wanted all along. Can Sonny lie her way to the truth, or will all her lies end up costing her both Ryder and Amy?

I didn't even know about this book until the cover was revealed but I loved The DUFF so I'm definitely excited for this story :D
What are you guys waiting on this week?
Definitely yes to this! I love her books and have seen some good reviews for this so far.
ReplyDeleteYep I've read most of her books and loved them all :D

My WoW
I think my link messed up. My WoW
DeleteYou must read it! Hope you'll love it :D
DeleteI haven't read the DUFF, but I did see the movie! I really enjoyed that. It may have been the Mae Whitman factor though... I really like her! ;) Is the book as entertaining as the movie? Should I give it a read? Since this one is a companion, it's probably not a must before reading LOL though right?
ReplyDeleteHahaha the movie was really hilarious! The book's a little different but still just as much fun in my opinion. It's a little more on the serious side and more explicit. LOL is set in the same world as The DUFF and I believe the characters from there make an appearance but you definitely don't need to read them together to make sense :)
DeleteI still need to read The DUFF! I have it sitting on my shelf, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe I'll wait until this one releases that way I can read them back to back :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great idea! Hope you'll love both :)
DeleteI can't wait for this one, too! I recently read DUFF and really liked it! Great pick!!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Yay! You should try the movie :D
DeleteNice! Seeing this one around a bit lately! Not my kind of read but still hope you love it once you read it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
