Fiction Tuesday- Its Poetry Month!

To Be Perfectly Honest




What better way to kick off the month than to start with Sonya Sones' new book.  To be Perfectly Honest: A Novel based on an Untrue Story. Sonya always has a poetic way of creating story, characters and a certai beat to her work. Plus, its a great way to start April Fool's day. Her main character fools a lot of people. Maybe, even herself.

Can honesty lead to heartbreak if the truth is subjective? A compelling novel in verse from Sonya Sones.

Her friends
have a joke about her:
How can you tell if Colette is lying?

Her mouth is open.
Collette & Connor


Collette as Sophenia Owen and Brad Simpson as Connor in TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST by Sony Sones.

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…
