Scotty Williams is the nerdiest 17-year-old at UK-based Havensdale

particularly when you're constantly being targeted by the school bully
Taylor Raven and his cronies. As Scotty tries to navigate his final
college years with the aid of his best friend Olive, he also finds
himself on the radar of the mysterious and intimidating Vincent Hunter,
toughest guy in the Sixth Form. Is Vincent really as bad as he seems?
Will Scotty's darkest secret ever be revealed? Can he ever just finish
his last few college years in peace? But most importantly... will any
guy ever find the reasons to love a nerd like him?
Review
Oh Scotty! I must have
muttered those words about a billion times while reading this. Here we
have a brilliant, adorable, nerdy guy who is just trying to survive
college. Of course, while trying to survive he is surrounded by so much
drama. Almost ridiculous in the amount he manages to get himself into.
I don’t want to give the story away but I can tell you this. If Scotty didn’t lie so much he could have saved himself a lot of pain. I get it, I do. He lied to spare others; but in the end a lie is still a lie and when it’s uncovered all you thought you were protecting turns on you.
This is a very very long story and I do love a long tale. Especially Scotty’s. I was never bored. You couldn’t possibly BE bored with how much of a mess he gets himself into.
My heart broke for Tyler many times. He was brutally honest with Scotty. He was vulnerable and I wanted to swoop him up and take him away.
The ending of this book does make all the insanity worth it and there’s a HUGE lesson in this YA story.
I’d say absolutely give it a read.

I can't think of any bad lies. I am a very truthful person but maybe a white lie or two. Especially if it's going to hurt your feelings. You know like "No those jeans don't make your butt look big"!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember any really bad lies I've told. I do tell white lies sometimes to make sure that someone is hurt by my answer.
ReplyDeleteI accidentally broke my flat's mate iron when whe were at college. She had a really bad temper, so I wasn't able to tell it to her (in fact, I denied it when she asked). The problem was she almost burnt the house down when she tried to use it again. I'm still ashamed nowadays....
