A thrilling story of manipulation, deceit and consequences, All of this is True is a contemporary cross between We Were Liars and The Breakfast Club
When four Long Island teens plot to meet Fatima Ro, the elusive author of their favourite novel, they´re stunned when she befriends them and invites them into her eccentric life. Suddenly their lives seem charmed, and as they grow closer to their idol, they find themselves revealing their darkest secrets to her.
But a year later, Miri, Soleil, Jonah and Penny are shocked to discover that Fatima´s newly released YA novel is based on those same secrets. The revelations are devastating, and they can´t escape the spotlight. The friends´ interview transcripts, emails and journal entries reveal how willing they were to sacrifice everything to win Fatima´s approval - and how those sacrifices led to a tragedy from which one of them will never recover.
A delicious, addictive puzzle that readers will gobble up. I had to read it twice, once because it had me by the throat, then again to really savor the wit, sarcasm and absolute humanity of these characters. An unbelievably creative undertaking, beautifully executed Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock, author of the Carnegie Medal-shortlisted The Smell of Other People´s Houses
