We Told Six Lies

by Victoria Scott

Overview

Remember how many lies we told, Molly? It’s enough to make my head spin. You were wild when I met you, and I was mad for you. But then something happened. And now you’re gone.

But don’t worry. I’ll find you. I just need to sift through the story of us to get to where you might be. I’ve got places to look, and a list of names.

The police have a list of names, too. See now? There’s another lie. There is only one person they’re really looking at, Molly.

And that’s yours truly.

Editorial Reviews

03/01/2019

Gr 9 Up—Cobain, a young man in high school, is being questioned by the police about his missing girlfriend. Cobain doesn't know what happened to her and he doesn't understand why he is a suspect in Molly's disappearance. They were happy together—as far as he can remember. The story switches between the teens' perspectives and moves from the present day to when their relationship started a few months ago. The alternating narration will disorient readers, as Molly's lying and manipulation disoriented Cobain. While he is dealing with being the prime suspect, he is also trying to figure out what happened to her, and realizing that their relationship isn't quite what he thought it was. Scott's thriller moves quickly between voices and time lines and unfolds slowly. While the book is character driven, readers never really fully understand the characters' motivations. Teens must wait until the end to uncover the truth. VERDICT Good for any reader who likes a thriller that keeps them guessing until the very last page. A general purchase.—Sara Jurek, Children's English Library, Stuttgart, Germany
