Love & Lies: Marisol's Story

(4) YA Marisol (Hard Love) takes a novel-writing class. She mends fences with estranged friend Gio, befriends newly out Lee, and falls for seductive writing teacher Olivia. The coincidences and conveniences pile up, and the resulting story feels forced. Still, Wittlinger resists tying things up for a neat ending, respecting the complexity of characters whom fans will be glad to revisit.
