Every single lie

Rachel Vincent

The tiny town of Clifford, Tennessee (Population- 5,098) is full of secrets. But nothing stays hidden forever, and the tragedy sixteen-year-old Beckett Bergen has just uncovered at the local high school has the potential to ruin every life it touches. Beckett never would've been at school that day if she'd stayed home like she wanted to grieve her father's recent death and her break-up with Jake. But instead, she got caught sneaking into Jake's car and ducked into the girls' locker room, where she's shocked to discover the body of a newborn baby, carefully wrapped in an open gym bag. A gym bag Beckett recognizes as Jake's. Was this proof Jake cheated on her? And would he really desert a baby? As Beckett tries to make sense of everything, a photo she took of the scene goes viral, and people start to suspect she's the mother. Everyone can't stop talking about what might have happened, including the town's police detective, her own mother. As Beckett begins to search for the truth to try to clear her name, the secrets she'll discover along the way could alter everything she thought she knew about the people closest to her, including the only family she has left
