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.
