Description
From bestselling author Rachel Vincent comes a gripping and heartfelt story about a girl faced with a shocking revelation when her mom dies and she's forced to move in with her father's “real” family.
Michaela is a junior in high school, living with her single mom. Her dad lives a few towns away and she only sees him on holidays and birthdays. They barely know each other, but Michaela is so close with her mom that she's never minded.
That is, until her mom dies suddenly, and Michaela has to move in with her dad . . . who reveals he's been married with kids all this time and she's the product of an affair. Before she can even grieve her mother, Michaela is thrust into a strange house with a stepmom and three half siblings. Including her new sister Emery, who is less than thrilled at the prospect of sharing her room. Especially when they both try out for the school musical and Emery's theater star ex-boyfriend suddenly seems interested in Michaela.
Can Michaela find a way to make a home with a family who didn't ask for her in the first place?

A YALSA 2023 Best Fiction for Young Adults pick

Publishers Weekly
-
Vincent unpacks Michaela's journey through complicated family dynamics and the never-linear trajectory of grief in this tender, emotional story of perseverance.
Booklist
-
The family dynamic is interesting, the problems the family faces are real, and each member is well-defined and relatable.
School Library Connection
-
Discussions of familial responsibility, guilt, and the varied forms grief can take are realistic and well done. The explorations of the impacts of infidelity and hiding the truth are equally intriguing. . . . Well-drawn, well-developed characters make this a worthwhile read.
Kirkus Reviews
-
Raw, real, and utterly gripping, Every Single Lie is part page-turning mystery, part heart-rending character study. A staggering portrait of family trauma and resilience in small-town America.
