Review: See How They Lie - Sue Wallman - March 2017 Recently, I read Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman and enjoyed the read and wanted to give her other books a go. This one I feel followed a bit of a similar trend but not. What I found similar was that both books are set in a psychiatric-type facility - Lying about Last Summer had our main character at a camp for grieving teens and they had to attend therapy. This one is an actual facility with all walks of life. Our main character Mae lives with her family at Hummingbird Creek as her Dad - Dr. Hunter Ballard owns the facility. They live via strict rules and regimes and everything is a token base. Follow the rules and there are no problems, don't follow them or slightly step out of line and that is a whole different ballgame. The book starts with Mae helping Jenna the receptionist out when Jenna walks away, Mae answers the phone to hear that it's her Uncle Frank and to pass the message to her mum that her Mother has died...

Review: Lying about Last Summer - Sue Wallman- May 2016 I had seen a posting on Instagram for one of this author's books and so I decided to head to the Libby library app and see what books were available the first one I grabbed was Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman. This book starts with two sisters Skye and her older sister Luisa. Luisa has been home with her boyfriend Nico, they fought and now another guy has come over. Luisa sends Skye away to protect her, but what will happen when Luisa ends up dead? Skye freezes and now her big sister is gone. The book then jumps to a new summer and it's been a year since Luisa died. Skye has been signed up for a Yellows Camp which helps other bereaved teens who have lost someone close to them. What happens though when Skye logs in to the private chat that she shared with her sister and starts receiving messages from her dead sister? Is it her sister or is someone messing with her? Also at the camp, we have creepy Joe who I do wish...
