But everything about Chris Brennan is a lie.
Susan Sematov is proud of her son Raz, a high school pitcher so athletically talented that he's being recruited for a full-ride scholarship to a Division I college, with a future in major-league baseball. But Raz’s father died only a few months ago, leaving her son in a vulnerable place where any new father figure might influence him for good, or evil.
Heather Larkin is a struggling single mother who lives for her son Justin's baseball games. But Justin is shy, and Heather fears he is being lured down a dark path by one of his teammates, a young man from an affluent family whose fun-loving manner might possibly conceal his violent plans.
Mindy Kostis succumbs to the pressure of being a surgeon's wife by filling her days with social events and too many gin and tonics. But she doesn’t know that her husband and her son, Evan, are keeping secrets from her – secrets that might destroy all of them.
At the center of all of them is Chris Brennan. Why is he there? What does he want? And what is he willing to do to get it?
This book was one of the best books that I have read so far this year. When I started reading the book I thought it was going one way then suddenly it was going in a different direction and I was like WOW I loved how couldn't put this book down.
I fell in love with the character of Chris from the start. Even when I could not tell what he was up too I was in love with his personality, how he acted and pretty much everything about him. Then as the book moved on and I learned more about him I thought it was genius that the main character of this book was a male. It added something more to the story, I personally felt.
I also enjoyed the three families the book followed because they were all so real and so typical of what you would find in a regular high school and small town. Each one had their own problems and their own things that they were dealing with behind closed doors. All three boys were your typical high school athlete in some ways but in others had their own secrets they were hiding.
I am not going to give anything away because of spoilers but I am going to say this is a must read. It had me guessing and I could not out it down. Truthfully, as I said a great read.
I am giving One Perfect Lie five out of five stars.
