Little Blue Lies

Little Blue Lies by Chris Lynch, 217 pages


Oliver would be heartbroken when Junie Blue breaks up with him except for the fact that he refuses to accept it.  He continues to call her and show up at her house.  Her father, Ronny, who never liked him anyway, takes delight in tormenting him with tidbits but no real information about June.  June, one of the strongest characters I’ve ever seen in a book, doesn’t mind O hanging around, except when she does, and then she tells him to buzz off.  Because O is no fool, he goes away when he’s told.  O’s biggest problem is that he’s pretty sure that June still loves and needs him, and he also suspects that she may be in trouble but he isn’t sure how to help, especially when she’s pushing him away.  This is a good romance for teens, told from the perspective of O, so it might have some appeal to boys too.
