Even When You Lie to Me by Jessica Alcott is not the type of book I would typically buy. But, I became very intrigued by the summary provided on Goodreads as well as the positive reviews from readers. Charlotte, better known as Charlie, has always been in the shadow of her best friend, Lila. When senior year begins, Charlie expects it to be similar to every other experience she has ever had with Lila in the limelight. Things take an odd turn, however, when Mr. Drummond takes over her Advanced Placement English class. On the first day, he gives her the nickname Chuck rather than call her Charlie. From that moment on, Charlie becomes intrigued by his presence in her life.
