5 Stars!!

"I stopped wishing for us to be best friends when I was fifteen. Instead, I wished every night that you would love me one day."

Another AMAZING 5 star read from Victoria Klahr!! I was so excited to start That's A Lie once I finished reading That's A Promise. I loved this story just as much as book 1, if not more! Just thinking about this story puts a smile on my face! I loved the prologue! Seth is thee best best-friend a girl can have! He totally makes me wish I grew up with a best friend just like him!

Once again Seth stole my heart! I seriously love everything about him. He is so funny and has one of the best personality's. He's sexy, sweet, and loves with his whole heart. The way he cares and loves Josie is so overwhelming at times. He was there for Josie when ever she needed him and knew how to help her work through her darkness. Another thing I loved about Seth, was that he was a kid at heart. I loved the part when they were playing in the park and when he goes to Josie's house for the first time and they pretend they are on a mission! The friendship that Seth and Josie had was so cute. I loved it! Another part I loved was when Seth is telling Josie how she can overcome her nightmares by changing her thoughts about them and replacing the bad images with happy ones. I loved when he told her how he would change them if he were her....

"Personally, my ideal change would be for you to take that knife and stab Blake with it, but I'm not sure that would solve much."

Along with everything else, Seth also had the best sense of humor! I'm telling you...the perfect guy! Even though Seth made me laugh so much, there were plenty of times that he made me sad knowing how much he was hurting.....

"Sometimes it hurts to look at her. I've never been so sure about anything in my life than I am about wanting to spend the rest of my life with her, and every second that she's not mine is an aching reminder that she still hasn't chosen me."

There were so many times that I wished that I could have jumped into this book and scream... I WANT YOU SETH!!! I WANT YOU!!! LOL

As for Blake, well this time around I had mixed feelings when it came to him. There were so many times that I was so mad at him! The things that he said to Josie and the way he treated her were unbelievable. I could have thrown my kindle because of how pissed off he made me! I understand that he was hurting at times because of what Josie took away from him, but really?? Josie was struggling and I totally understand why she did what she did. I just wish that Blake could have seen it the same way. I won't lie though, towards the end I did shed some tears over Blake because I think he finally realized what he was doing and how he was constantly hurting Josie. So, a small part of my heart did feel his pain.

Josie is another one that made me want to throw my kindle at times. I just wanted to shake her and slap her around in this story! I mean, how many times could Seth show her how much he loved her and how far he was willing to go to win her heart? I know that any one that was around Josie and Seth could see how in love he was with her. Even Josie's dad could see how much Seth loved her and I loved how he describes Seth's feelings towards to Josie....

"I've experienced the greatest love I'll ever know and I've seen genuine love between others like Gayle and George, but there's something special about how deeply Seth loves you, Josie Bean. I've never seen someone as captivated by a person as Seth is by you. When he looks at you, you can feel the way he loves you. When he touches you, you can see an instant sense of completion in his eyes and body language. When he talks about you, his energy seems to be buzzing to be with you...I couldn't ask for anyone better for you, baby."

I can seriously go on and on about this story and quote so many more of my favorite parts, but you just HAVE TO READ IT!!! I can not express enough how much I loved EVERY. SINGLE. THING. about That's A Lie. I really think that if you've read and loved Present Perfect by Alison G. Bailey, you would love this story too! The Promises Series will definitely be on my favorites list! I can't wait to see what's next from Victoria Klahr!!
