The only thing worse than the secrets you keep from everyone else are the lies you tell yourself. For sixteen-year-old Eric Bowen, everyday plays out as just another opportunity for disaster. Lonely, awkward and crippled by anxiety, he copes by staying invisible until a desperate choice brings him all the wrong kinds of attention. Things change when he befriends a strange, new classmate and the hope of 'normal' suddenly seems possible. Truman Dodge is everything Eric isn't--fearless, unapologetic and weirdly dishonest. When they take a another outcast and new arrival under their wing, life--and their friendship--gets undeniably complicated. Caught up in dark secrets and painful lies, they soon realize that friends are chosen, families aren't. Blood ties come with a heavy burden of grief, shame and dysfunction. Truth, they discover, destroys just as easily as it heals. And when you're not a kid but not quite grown up--the problem is never knowing which way that knife will cut.If you're a John Green fan, Tru is a poignant, intimate story worth a look.
