Thistle Tate is seventeen and a big-name YA author with the final installment of her Lemonade Skies trilogy due very soon. Only Thistle, her dad, and her best and only friend, Liam, know her secret: Thistle's dad wrote the books based on her ideas. She can't wait until the final book publishes so she can bury the lie and get on with her life. Then she meets Oliver and her guilt deepens as their new friendship pulls her away from Liam. When incidents occur that threaten to expose her, Thistle takes charge and leans on her new friends. As her deadline approaches, information regarding Thistle's late mother adds yet another twist. This book is perfect for readers struggling with questions of how far to go to protect those you love. Detweiler, a literary agent and author, knows both sides of publishing, and it shows, giving this novel an extra oomph of realism. Thistle is affable and easy to commiserate with, and, despite her increasingly complicated situation, her plight is lovingly and respectfully written.
Kirkus Reviews
Home-schooled 17-year-old Thistle Tate is a celebrated YA author—but she's wracked with guilt
Thistle Tate is only seventeen, and a bestselling author. It's too bad she's also a liar.
It seems like Thistle has everything. Her Lemonade Skies series is wildly popular, with droves of diehard fans waiting for the next--and final--book. She's even started dating her best friend, Liam, the one person who knows everything about her.
Including Thistle's deepest secret: she's not really the author of the books.
But as she gets to know one of her super-fans--and her handsome, charming brother Oliver--Thistle's guilt starts to weigh on her. How can she build friendships when her life is built on lies?
All Thistle wants is for the last book to be written, so she can leave this ruse behind her for good. But as the book's deadline looms, a dramatic turn of events puts everything in jeopardy--Lemonade Skies, Thistle's relationships, and even her own identity. Is she a victim, a fraudster, or both?
Lies, jealousy, secrets. . . It's only a matter of time before something gives--and Thistle's world comes undone.
For fans of Rainbow Rowell and E. Lockhart, this suspenseful novel is a perfect read for teen bookworms everywhere. With an insider's look at the publishing world and a thrilling love triangle, The Undoing of Thistle Tate will keep you turning pages until the very end.
