Little White Lies alternates between short chapters centering on the present, where the debutantes are locked in a jail cell, and regular-length chapters that lead up to their arrest. Like blackmail, kidnapping, a semi-explicit photo blog, a hit-and-run, and a few more felonies sprinkled in. While Little White Lies includes all of these things, it also covers much, much more.
Sawyer lives at her grandmother’s house, can’t walk in heels, makes lots of jokes about debutantes, searches for her father, causes general chaos, and uncovers a family secret. I went into this book thinking I knew what to expect. Refer to the asterisk at the bottom of the page to see the spoiler. Little White Lies is Mamma Mia meets Miss Congeniality meets a multi-faceted mystery all wrapped up in one quick read.Īsterisks will be used to refer to events without spoilers.
Faced with ruining her reputation, Lily does all that she can to preserve it, dragging Sawyer and ever-anxious friend Sadie-Grace down with her. So-called “Little Miss Perfect” has been keeping a semi-explicit photo blog, and a fellow Deb has the evidence to expose her for it. While being prodded, plucked, and trained to be a perfectly charming “Deb,” Sawyer stumbles upon a dangerous secret kept by her cousin Lily. The catch? She has to stay at her grandmother’s house for a year to participate in the debutante season.
While Sawyer’s mother is away on another one of her whirlwind romances, Sawyer’s grandmother arrives on her doorstep offering her $500,000- to Sawyer, this is more than an opportunity to get out of her small town and go to college: this is her opportunity to finally discover who her father is. What she doesn’t know is that she is also a future debutante… and accessory to a felony (or a few). Sawyer Taft is 18, an auto mechanic, and an expert at threatening sexual harassers on the job. One of these things is not like the others…
