Harmless by Dana Reinhardt
My rating: 3/5 cats
this is a story that details the consequences of lies. when three girls get exposed in a teensy white lie, they decide to tell a much bigger lie because “go big or go home,” right?? and “going home” will get them grounded.
“going big” will have much more serious consequences, but youth is shortsighted. and dumb. so very dumb.
for a while, the lying thing works out quite well—they even end up looking pretty heroic and get sympathy shopping sprees, and boys with curiosities. but then the lie catches fire and destroys everything in its path. oh noes! my new makeup suddenly does not seem worth it!
this is a pretty lightweight story—no great shakes, but when you get a free book in the middle of a horrific heat wave, you read what you get. and now i can bring it back to the free shelves at work, and forget it ever happened. hopefully, like this heat. it burrrns.
