Book Review: To Be Perfectly Honest by Sonya Sones

To Be Perfectly Honest: A Novel Based on an Untrue StoryTo Be Perfectly Honest by Sonya Sones
Book Summary: 
Her friends 
have a joke about her:
How can you tell if Colette is lying?

Her mouth is open.


Fifteen-year-old Colette is addicted to lying. Her shrink says this is because she’s got a very bad case of Daughter-of-a-famous-movie-star Disorder—so she lies to escape out from under her mother’s massive shadow. But Colette doesn’t see it that way. She says she lies because it’s the most fun she can have with her clothes on. Not that she’s had that much fun with her clothes off. At least not yet, anyway…

When her mother drags her away from Hollywood to spend the entire summer on location in a boring little town in the middle of nowhere, Colette is less than thrilled. But then she meets a sexy biker named Connor. He’s older, gorgeous, funny, and totally into her. So what if she lies to him about her age, and about who her mother is? I mean, she has to keep her mother’s identity a secret from him. If he finds out who she really is, he’ll forget all about Colette, and start panting and drooling and asking her for her mother’s autograph. Just like everyone always does. 

But what Colette doesn’t know is that Connor is keeping a secret of his own…


Liana's Summary: Colette is addicted to lying. Even her friends have a joke about her and her BS. When she meets Connor, though, of course Colette continues to lie-- but what will that lead to? Colette doesn't know, but she'll find out. As things start escalating, and she uncovers the real truth about Connor-- she starts to realize something about herself..

Book Review: Proxy by Alex London

Proxy (Proxy, #1)Proxy by Alex London
Book Summary: Knox was born into one of the City’s wealthiest families. A Patron, he has everything a boy could possibly want—the latest tech, the coolest clothes, and a Proxy to take all his punishments. When Knox breaks a vase, Syd is beaten. When Knox plays a practical joke, Syd is forced to haul rocks. And when Knox crashes a car, killing one of his friends, Syd is branded and sentenced to death.

Syd is a Proxy. His life is not his own.

Then again, neither is Knox’s. Knox and Syd have more in common than either would guess. So when Knox and Syd realize that the only way to beat the system is to save each other, they flee. Yet Knox’s father is no ordinary Patron, and Syd is no ordinary Proxy. The ensuing cross-country chase will uncover a secret society of rebels, test both boys’ resolve, and shine a blinding light onto a world of those who owe and those who pay. Some debts, it turns out, cannot be repaid.


Liana's Summary: Knox was born rich. He's a Patron, after all. Syd is his Proxy, and being the Proxy in a Patron-Proxy relationship is definitely the opposite of lux. Whenever Knox does something wrong, Syd is punished for it. But how far will it go? Will Knox do so many wrongs, that Syd is sentenced to die? Neither of the boys expect to meet each other, but when they do, what starts is one hell of an adventure.

This weekly meme is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. This week's features are The Mile Long Bookshelf and Hardcore Heroine.

How do you handle a book you don’t like? Do you DNF or do you power through?
It just depends, actually. I used to power through every single book that I read, even if I didn't like it at all, but now I kind of just DNF if I don't see the point in finishing. Of course, if it's a review copy, then I definitely have to finish, but no one says I can't skim through the last few pages if I really don't like it. I mean, if people said a certain book was SO GOOD, and I didn't like it halfway through, I'd definitely just finish it and see. If not, I'd probably just drop it. But I'd definitely get halfway through any book before even considering DNF-ing it.

How about you guys?
