One Tiny Lie (#W.S Awards 2016)
Livie Cleary has always been Miss Perfect - but soon she learns that perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be, and finding out who she really is might mean making some mistakes along the way.
"Make me proud." These were the last words Livie's father ever spoke to her. In the seven years since her parents' tragic death, Livie has done her best to live up to this standard through her every choice, word, and action, while looking after her sister with strength and maturity. But with college right around the corner, unexpected challenges will test her resilience - and her heart.
Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she's dead set on delivering on it; Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school and meet a good, respectable guy to marry. Her plan definitely does not include Jell-O shots; a loveable, party animal roommate she can't say "no" to, or Ashton, the arrogant - and extremely attractive - captain of the men's rowing team who makes Livie's usually non-existent temper flare. Worse, he's best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fit Livie's criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?
As Livie finds herself facing more mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn't have, she's forced to let go of her father, and, with it, the only identity she's ever known.
