The Truth Game

By Anna Staniszewski

     This is a very entertaining tale of young Rachel as she embarks on her high school career.  She is hoping that this is going to be a new and exciting time for her.  She is entering high school, has a boyfriend, is beginning her dream job at a bakery and might be on television.  But Rachel's school does not start off all that great.  Her parents are separated, she rarely sees her boyfriend, her best friend is absorbed in her own life and barely has time for Rachel and of course her arch enemy works with her at the bakery  
     As Rachel's enemy, Briana, continues to sabotage Rachel at the bakery, she is also Evan's sister and Rachel tries to get along with her.  Briana is one of popular girls at school and Rachel would love to fit in with the rest of her classmates.  When Briana signs Rachel up for the Truth Game, she grudgingly gives it a try.  She quickly finds out that she is not that different from her classmates and reveals a lot of her inner secrets.  Things are going pretty good, her and Evan finally kiss, she is finally learning more at the bakery but all good things must come to an end.
     One day the Truth Game is hacked and everyone's secrets are shared with all of the participants of the application.  Rachel's budding relationships are destroyed and she is left floundering.  Her best friend and boyfriend are not returning her texts or calls and Briana is furious at her.  The only good thing is her building relationships with her parents and the faint possibility of meeting Chip.
     When a crisis at the bakery places Rachel in the spotlight and she needs help, she has no other recourse than to reach our to Marisol and Evan.  As only true friends would do, they rush to the rescue, but can Rachel repair the damage from her Truth Game reveals?  Is there hope for her relationships?
     I enjoyed this realistic fiction book a great deal and found it very plausible.  I am rating it as a four out of five stars and saying any young women in seventh grade on up would enjoy reading this great story.
