In this humorous love story from the author of Two-Way Street , an unlikely romance is the best sort of surprise&;but the wrong secret can ruin everything.
Kelsey&;s not going to let one mistake ruin her life. Sure, she got kicked out of prep school and all her old friends are shutting her out. But Kelsey&;s focused on her future, and she&;s determined to get back on track at Concordia High.
Isaac&;s been kicked out of more schools than he can count. Since his father&;s a state senator, Isaac&;s life is under constant scrutiny&;but Concordia High&;s his last stop before boarding school, so Isaac&;s hoping to fly under the radar and try to stay put for a change.
When Kelsey and Isaac meet, it&;s anything but love at first sight. She thinks he&;s an entitled brat, and he thinks she&;s a stuck-up snob. So it surprises them both when they start to fall for each other. Kelsey&;s happy for the first time in months, and Isaac&;s never felt this way about anyone before&;.But nothing&;s ever completely perfect. Everyone has secrets, and Isaac and Kelsey are no exceptions. These two may have fallen hard, but there&;s one thing that can ruin it all: the truth.

I really liked the book and think that Lauren Barnholt did a good job. I really liked the love story and how she makes the bad boy good. The part I didnt like was that they bounced back and forth from the present and past. My favorite part about the book was how Kelsey and Isaac start to like each other. They are two opposite people but somehow fall in love and even though they get in a really big fight they still seam to work it out.

The Thing About the Truth by Lauren Barnhodlt is a humurous love story about two people who come from different backgrounds and fall in love. There were alot of things that I especially liked about this book were the characters: Issac is awesome. He is so handsome and I love his attitude. I feel that the author did a great job at speaking from a realistic male teenager point of view. I also feel that Issac feelings for Kelsey were very real. Kelsey was a good leading character. I liked that she didnt just give into Issac so quickly. Although, there were times when I sighed at how she treated Issac I liked her. I also liked the supporting characters such as Marshall and Chloe.The writing style was very nice and polished. There was a good mixture of dialogue (which I love) and being in the characters head. I also really loved the way how the book was written. (future to past..then back to the futre) It helped to keep the readers in suspense and on their toes. It helped to build everything that led up to the real reason of the conflict between Kelsey and Issac.I would recommend this book to readers who want a fresh, contemporary teen/young adult novel. Buy! Buy! Buy! ***4.5 stars***
Disclaimer: I read a lot of YA, so when I compare this to others it’s just okay. If I didn’t read others, I’d probably give it a better rating.It’s a good book but the negatives are too big to ignore. Mostly, the ending is abrupt and, for me, the boy lost his charm when he became so mad. He was a more realistic character but, let’s be honest, these YA books have unrealistic perfect male lead characters. That’s part of the reason I read them so when I stopped liking the lead male character I stopped liking the book as much as the other books I love (including Lauren Barnholdt). Also, I would’ve liked a better resolution all the way around. I felt it lacked a little in the ending. Those were the only strong negatives, otherwise, it was a good read. Enjoyable but not my favorite by a long shot.
I’ve read two of Lauren Barnholdt’s books and the thing I really liked about them was the characters seem so real. They’re teens who act a little melodramatic, feel emotions just a little too much, and don’t usually stop to think about how things will affect the future. Barnholdt writes real teens in her fictional books.The Thing about the Truth is no different. Kelsey and Isaac are no different from her other characters in that they are perfectly written teens. They jump to conclusions and act impulsively, but they’re still sweet and wonderful.I’m quite a bit like Kelsey; I’m usually deep into a novel wherever I go. She’s a little shy, thinks a lot about her future at college, and just wants to find a couple friends to fit with. She thinks with her heart before her head and it gets her into trouble.Isaac is a nice guy who doesn’t always think and that’s what gets him into trouble. He’s supposed to be this perfect senator’s son, and under the pressure of looking good, he buckles and does imperfect things, getting him kicked out of private school and sent to public. Isaac may not always meet his father’s standards, but he’s not a bad guy. He’s sweet and attentive and it’s easy to see how much he cares for Kelsey.I had a feeling this book would end the way it did, and I also had a feeling about what the huge incident was that got between them, but I still really enjoyed reading about the before and after. The Thing About the Truth is a speedy, but wonderful summer read that will leave you smiling, happy, and looking for that sweet romance.
