Fakers: 1 (Licking Thicket)

Product Information

I defy anyone to not feel great after they have read this story, even more if they had the pleasure of listening to it from Michael Dean's voice. What others don’t know is that behind the facade, is a young woman dealing with secrets, depression, a death of a mother, and feelings of abandonment from her grandparents. Living in the same community with her cold, hateful grandmother is painful and triggers an emotional rollercoaster. If you're looking for a short but stimulating summer read, something to give to a young friend or relative, or even something for a camp bookstall, Faker is a worthy choice.

After some subtle stalking, Liam learns that the woman is ambitious Hollywood attorney, Gemma Vaughn, and he becomes intent on making her the Amal to his George Clooney. He shows why the tax collector's cry for "mercy" is actually a plea for propitiation, and what that word means anyway (and why it matters)! She lives in Connecticut with a charming and patient husband and a daughter from whom she steals all her best ideas. All the hateful things she would say about her mother that made Kyra feel even worse and did not help with harming herself.Realizing now that the perfect summer she had planned is ruined, she confronts Kai, who proposes that they fake a relationship to get back into their friends’ good graces and to win Jordan and Olivia back, respectively. The book is lined with insightful, yet simple quotes from contemporary icons and illustrations that allow the reader to better picture the scenarios McDonald portrays. Her bubbling personality and fresh beauty capture her audience each week, but they don't know the truth-she's just faking it. Their relationship, which is complex to say the least, has a strange dynamic because, in the end, Penny was just glad she finally wasn’t the one being teased. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

This is the enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, YA romance that I was looking forward to and I loved it!The whole premise seemed a bit awkward and unnecessary, and the drama of faking didn’t seem to be enough to base a story on. I can’t wait to read more from this author and you should definitely pick it up if you’re looking for a great summer romance read! Yet, she is drawn to him, and the unexpected attraction to a man who challenges her to be her true self lands her in unchartered waters. And will she will be able to finally be REAL or will she continue to be a FAKER and fade in with the crowd? However, throughout the book, she realizes how fake their relationship was and how that led her to not have good relationships with other people, like Kai and their other friends or with Sarah, the “weird” girl who was her only real friend for years when they were younger.

I personally knew about most of the stories, so it would be a good beginner book for a kid getting interested into the history of these type of things. Penny feels like she’s left behind and it only goes to show that all she wants is to be liked and wanted. The book wasn't very realistic in the life altering effects of those problems, BUT the book never claimed to be, nor was it written as, a medical text book on Mental Health issues.In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. It brings to the surface what one goes through when dealing with depression, and how even having one person to talk to makes the difference!
