To Be Honest

Why I Chose to Read To Be HonestTo Be Honest had just been brought to my attention when I received a challenge in one of my book groups on to read a book with 150 pages or less this week. I don’t exactly have many short books to choose from, and this seemed interesting, so I gave it a go. Relatable Characters & Realistic SettingTo Be Honest is set in Fairmere High School - also known as your stereotypical high school that can be found in all towns around the Western world. Although it is [...]

I was sent this book to review by the author and really liked the blurb for the book.The book follows the main character Lisi and the trials and tribulations she suffers as a teenager. She has an unhealthy obsession with her English teacher, Miss Mint, as she thinks that she is perfect and aspires to be exactly like her. After a freak weather event, Lisi find out exactly what it is like to be Miss Mint!I found the very beginning of the book a little slow, partly because I find it a little diffic [...]

I liked To Be Honest a lot! For one, it was very realistic and believable. One would think that because this book involved switching of bodies and souls that the book would be kind of unbelievable. But I have to say that this book was the exact opposite. I loved the fact that there was actually a scientific explanation behind the switch – in this case, the Mammatus Clouds.Mammatus clouds - Pretty, huh!This book reminds me of Freaky Friday, probably because it is the only other book I've read t [...]

I enjoyed the romance between Lis and Kai towards the ending.The ending was perfect conclusion , although I'm reluctant to end the story, I want to read on and find out where Lis ends up.Bt [...]

I really enjoyed this book because it was about things that some people just don't think about, such as lying. I got into the plot straight away, and finished in two days! Brilliant book that uses great language that I could very easily relate to. Lots of sentences that used ands and no full stops to convey the frantic mind of Lisi across. Amazing!:)

I LOVE this book! It tackles difficult subjects like lying and death but in a fun and easy way. It's plot keeps you entwined until the very last page. I couldn't stop reading! It can be confusing at times but I like that in a book. It makes you stop and think about what is happening. I do think some points could have been expanded more but over all I really really love this book!!

This was an interesting teen story. Not the kind of book I usually read though. But still, it was fun and I kindly recommend it to all teen and young adult story lovers. Thanks to the author for sending it to me, it was a pleasure to read your work PJ! :)

This is a fun book! I loved that it. Lisi is sweet and just adorable. I loved how it focused on friendship and family.Even the book started out a bit difficult to understand, as the story processed, I began to enjoy it more and more.

Such a cute story! Review to come,

I get the feeling that this review may be somewhat unwelcome here. After all, when it comes to consistency with plot, I'm very nitpick-y. However, when I read this book, I couldn't help but shout silently at my phone when reading sections of this book. But I'll get to that in a minute. I'll start from the beginning:To Be Honest follows the story of a 15-year old girl named Lisi. She's very annoying. This isn't actually a bad comment because I know many 15 year olds who are very annoying and beha [...]

Brief summaryLisi wants to be just like her teacher Miss Mint. She loves everything about her. Then during a weird storm, Lisi and Miss Mint are suddenly in each other's bodies and they only have 12 days to figure out how to switch back.What I likedLisi's was an interesting character and I liked the idea behind this book. Can you imagine suddenly being in someone else's body? I like how mature Lisi became when she was in Miss Mint's body and how she realized that it's not easy to be an adult. Wh [...]

This book is cute! Read it, that is all. :)
