MIRI loves the novel Undertow like its a living being. So when she and her friends get the chance to meet the author, Fatima Ro, they plot a way to get closer to her. As for what happened with Jonah Well, obviously none of that was Fatimas fault. SOLEIL wants to be a writer herself one day. She cant believe it when Fatima asks them to hang out with her and having Jonah there makes it even better. PENNY is more than the party girl everyone thinks she is, and shes willing to share her darkest secrets with Fatima to prove it. But what will happen when Fatima finds out about Jonah? All of This Is True is a story of obsession and revenge, betrayal and forgiveness, and the devastating result of a secret that didnt stay buried.

Utterly addictive and psychologically delectable - Penaflor's second novel will shock at every twist and turn * Kirkus, starred review *

 

Penaflor keeps the tensions high and the pacing swift while giving each of the three young narrators a unique voice and perspective ... Suspenseful and smart * Publishers Weekly *

 

A tightly wound and plausible cautionary tale ... The unusual construct is highly effective and has the same addictive quality as sensational tabloids but with thoughtful themes and content * Booklist *

 

As original as it is disturbing ... Readers will be compelled to interrogate their own stances on important contemporary questions * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review *

 

Even with its addictive, soap opera-esque intrigue, Penaflor's characters remain distinct and believable. Deliciously sordid yet thought-provoking ... A must-have for YA collections * School Library Journal *
