I think as for now this is my least favourite Kody Keplinger book which is fine though I wished I had enjoyed it more.
Like most of Keplinger's books, it has (multiple) good messages for the young adult audience. The one on the forefront of this book - as the title would let you assume - lying. But it also touches on the problems concerned with putting people on pedestals.

My main problem is with that I think that Sonny just did not learn from her mistakes until she was so stuck that she had to tell the truth. I do believe it fitted the character since lying was basically Sonny's survival mechanism through middle and high school because of her problematic parents (dad in prison, absent mom). However, I had hoped to see more growth than I did.

That brings me to the way too open-ended ending for my taste. I had liked to at least hear the end of Ryder's and Sonny's conversation but alas...

Lastly, I just did not swoon over the romance as much as I did with Keplinger's previous books.
