Lies My Girlfriend Told Me

Lies My Girlfriend Told Me by Julie Anne Peters, 246 pages


Alix’s girlfriend, Swanee, dies suddenly of a heart attack.  After her death, Alix finds out that Swanee was cheating on her with a girl named Liana, who also thought that Swanee was her girlfriend.  Although both girls are shocked and feel betrayed at first, eventually Alix and Liana begin to work through their feelings together and find out that they may have feelings for each other.  Unfortunately, Alix led Liana to believe that Swanee was alive through a series of text messages before they met, but Liana doesn’t realize that Alix was the one texting her so their entire relationship is based on a big lie.  Alix isn’t sure how to tell Liana the truth without ruining what their relationship and friendship.  This is a good romance and a good story about death and grieving.  Teens, especially gay teens, will probably enjoy this story a lot.

Everything Leads To You

Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour, 307 pages


Emi has been pretty fortunate most of her life.  She has a great internship working on sets in the film industry, a great family that is comfortably well-off, and a great brother who has allowed her and her best friend, Charlotte, the use of his apartment while he is overseas for two months with just one stipulation: that they do something epic with it.  She has just graduated high school, and even has a real job as the production manager for an independent film.  The only problem Emi has is with her love life.  But when she and Charlotte discover a letter that leads them to a mystery and a beautiful girl named Ava, Emi feels like she might really be on the right track to something truly epic; love.  This is a sweet love story for teens with minor conflict, just enough to make the story interesting.
