[Stephanie]

The mention of the night terrors was what got me to read this book. I thought it might have some paranormal aspects to it because of that, but Where the Truth Lies is definitely a contemporary. So after I realized this, I basically had no idea where the book was headed and I was very surprised by where the book went.

This book was so strange. I didn't expect it to go in the direction it did, and while I was reading I kept hoping the main character would wake up and it all was a nightmare, but that never happened. Unfortunately.

One of my problems were the characters. They all annoyed at some point. Emily was the one I didn't have much of a problem with, but her 3 friends Stephanie, Franny, and Grace seemed so... weird. They treated each other like they would a little kid. They would always call each other 'hon' or 'sweetie' or would have 'cuddle time'. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I found that strange. They would be mad at each other for something, and then the next minute they would be fine. Emily and Stephanie were the two that really annoyed me the most.

Del was just a shady character to begin with and I don't know why Emily even got involved with him.

Overall I found the story interesting enough to finish, but it just left me wondering what I just read.
