Just like with The Selection series, I find myself describing these as guilty pleasure reads. They have more than their fair share of tropes, cliches, and issues, but I still find them to be easy, entertaining reads. That said, I enjoyed this one less than Ten Tiny Breaths because it had more issues. 
 The very first line of the book is Livie's older sister telling Livie she's "completely fucked up." The word "whore" is pretty much a staple in this book. It is used in a derogatory way around fifteen times, and half of them are variations of "man whore." Chapter eight is even titled so. Quotes are from an ARC and need to be checked with the final version of the book. 
 "I'm sure he'll have no trouble finding someone to...whore it up with." 
 "Is he available? ... But I guess a whore is always available, so it's a moot point." 
 "...I murmur, silently relegating him to top spot on the man-whore totem pole." 
 "I could tell him to stop. I could call him a male whore. 
 I could tell him that's he's making me feel like a whore." 
 "Of all the whores you bring in and out of here...you had to turn her into one too." 
 And when Livie is eavesdropping on two girls chatting about their exploits, she says: "Sure thing, whore." 
 And so on. ONE TINY LIE is full of lines like these, and that's what brought this book down so much for me. Well, that and the fact that Livie is basically stringing along two guys for the entire novel. One is of course, the Perfect Nice Guy (they really do always finish last in YA), and the stereotypical Bad Boy who toys with women. Spoiler alert, guess which one she picks. 
 This book is sort of a college coming of age for Livie, but it doesn't really excuse her behavior or all the slut-shaming that goes on in this book even if it is "realistic." There are plenty of other contemporary YA and adult books that can tackle a storyline like this better.
