"How can we not talk about family when family's all that we've got?"
Family huh?
Charlie is a regular teenager, or at least that's what she wants to be. Facing many problems on her life, from problems at school to troubles lurking in her family. Her school and social life is a mess, and her family are so caught up in their own problems to even support her. Having to live in an old rented flat with her criminal brother, her depressed mother, and her innocent younger brother, not knowing anything about her father, and having to be in control, life couldn't get any worse could it?
Little did she know, one truth could.
Who said knowing the truth would be easy?

As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series
The Lies We Share ✔
"She a coward sitting alone in her room, faceless and nameless among the many others like her. She was the shadow of a "real" girl. Laura felt the tears come, and it felt like forever since they've last truly fallen." We can't control the world but we can control how we react to it. Wise words, but nobody, especially not Laura Cliff, actually cares to follow that mantra. You could call it a character flaw but in her mind, it is unrelenting confidence in her ability to read people. Even if reading people is like talking through a tin can connected by a string that spans 1,000 miles. Relationships, she will learn, are kind of like that. If a drunk aunt and a sober world can't help her see through the lies, who exactly can? In The Lies We Share by Courtney Knight, one girl finds power and love in her daily life.
