{Review} One Tiny Lie by @kathleenatucker

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.

Biography

Born in small-town Ontario, Kathleen published her first book at the age of six with the help of her elementary school librarian and a box of crayons.

She is a voracious reader and the farthest thing from a genre-snob, loving everything from High Fantasy to Chick Lit.

Kathleen currently resides in a quaint town outside of Toronto with her husband, two beautiful girls, and an exhausting brood of four-legged creatures.

Three books in her best selling YA Paranormal Fantasy series - Causal Enchantment- are available now. The fourth and final book will be published in 2013.

Her New Adult Contemporary, TEN TINY BREATHS, originally self-published, has been acquired by Atria Books (a division of Simon & Schuster), along with three more books in the series.

This one I own!!

Unlike book one. This one is in the POV of Kacey's sister.  And although I did love it. It just wasn't as good as book one.  In this one Livie is off to collage and everyone is trying to get her to be more like the girls her age. And to just have fun.  This one had a lot of characters from book one. And that made the book better.  However it felt like Livie was an under developed character in this one.
