The Truth About Everything

This was such an interesting YA Contemporary. It was a slower paced book but the content still captivated me. Lark grows up on a farm with only her mother, father, and dog gizmo to keep her company. She's been homeschooled her entire life and the only friend she has is a boy named Alex who she met through a friend of her father's.

When her father heads out on weeks on a long-haul trip for work Lark decides to take Alex's advice to explore the possibility of attending the nearby school. Lark soon realizes that keeping secrets from her parents may lead to unforeseen consequences and that what she thought she knew about the world may have all been a lie.

The setting, characters, and plotline were well developed. I thought the support Lark finds among the "outsiders" felt genuine and enjoyed watching Lark coming out of her shell and gaining her own independence throughout the book. I definitely recommend this and plan to read more of Bridget Farr's books in the future.
