It was just a fantasy; an idea; to die on the day of your birthday, but the circumstances forced her to try and live, or rather, die that fantasy.
Twenty year old Andrew Stowers feels his life is incomplete. There's something missing, but he can't pinpoint what. When he finds a letter in a second hand book he had purchased from a garage sale though, he finds himself strangely intrigued in the life of the writer.
The letter, more like a diary entry, written two years ago, is from the girl who wants to end her life on her eighteenth birthday just because of a promise she had made to herself years ago. Andrew can't let it go. He wants to reach the bottom of that letter; to find what happened to the girl.
As Andrew sets to find the girl, he finds his life changed in the way he didn't think was possible.

White Lies (Book 1)
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.Complete
