But when her friend has a accident after drinking, her relationship with Hale and all the rest of the stress, shes in a very dark place that she has to try to survive. Unless of course, they enjoy the entertainment value of some of these scams because they can be used for good when all parties are fully aware that a show is going on!

From the author of The Best Laid Plans comes another fresh voiced, hilarious rom-com perfect for fans of Tweet Cute and The Rest of the Story.

His conviction is that much 'faking it' is rooted in both fear and self-righteousness, and it is only an encounter with Jesus that confronts these. When she goes inside, her best friend, Olivia, is hostile towards her and her boyfriend, Jordan, breaks up with her. I hated that she tried so hard to hide behind her smiles and YouTube videos so no one would know just how sad she really was inside.

The stories included cover both historical tricks and more modern ones with specific examples described. Meg is a new author and I fell in love with her stories before she even had the first one published. Wood delves in at the very beginning (yes, cave men) and recounts famous - and infamous - hoaxes and scams.Yes, this book had a romantic aspect but I think the big emphasis of this book is the character development of Kyra. v=1586793219","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Fakers book cover","id":2473410691151,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0. So when Kyra came into his life, he did everything he could to get her out of the act of everything is fine with that smile she gave everyone…because he knew that she was so much more than that. Faker does not just stop there though; the book digs to the heart of the problem with portraying ourselves in a variety of different ways in hopes of personal fulfillment.
