For this round of the GCC, I’m thrilled to be touring Eileen Cook with her latest book The Almost Truth.
The Book:
Sadie can’t wait to get away from her backwards small town, her delusional mom, her jailbird dad, and the tiny trailer where she was raised…even though leaving those things behind also means leaving Brendan. Sadie wants a better life, and she has been working steadily toward it, one con at a time.
But when Sadie’s mother wipes out Sadie’s savings, her escape plan is suddenly gone. She needs to come up with a lot of cash-and fast-or she’ll be stuck in this town forever.
With Brendan’s help, she devises a plan-the ultimate con-to get the money. But the more lies Sadie spins, the more she starts falling for her own hoax…and perhaps for the wrong boy. Sadie wanted to change her life, but she wasn’t prepared to have it flipped upside down by her own deception. With her future at stake and her heart on the line, suddenly it seems like she has a lot more than just money to lose….
The Buzz:
“.. enormously appealing and great company throughout this breezy read…..the highest quality-like a gourmet truffle. Cook has whipped up a real treat.” - Kirkus Starred Review
“Thrilling and creepy, super sexy, and so very hilarious.” - Lisa McMann, bestselling author of the Wake trilogy
“Sassy and sly and sweet all at the same time, this book made me laugh out loud.” - Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Airhead
The Author:
Eileen Cook is a multi-published author with her novels appearing in eight different languages. She spent most of her teen years wishing she were someone else or somewhere else, which is great training for a writer. Her latest release, Unraveling Isobel came out in Jan 2012
