I remember a business trip I took many years ago. We had less than zero budget, so there were six of us, all very different folks, in a minivan, driving across the state. We had a really fun time and got some good work done. But we did have a very awkward moment when someone suggested we play the game Two Truths and a Lie. We were all grown women. A few of us closing in on 35 and the others headed to, and past 50, so it was all sort of goofy and light-hearted.
Some of the truths and lies were, "I've gone white-water rafting. I've been rock climbing. I shot a gun in an orange grove." And "I have three tattoos. I used to raise show dogs. My middle name is Eunice."
We were all laughing and joking. But then we got to one lady who said, "I was raped. I had a miscarriage on my birthday. I were a bra since 44DD."
We were silent. As they say, you could have heard that pin drop. There was a lot of fidgeting and coughing, and then one lady shouted, "I have to stop for the bathroom!" And that ended the game.
So that's one way to end a game of Two Truths and a Lie!
TT and a L is the third book in the Lying Game series. I blew through this baby in a few hours, and I am sad and yet happy that it isn't the end. I REALLY wanted to find out who killed Emma's twin sister, Sutton. I have my suspicion, and I hope I am right, because I really don't like this particular character at all!
I am really looking forward to Lying Game #4, even if it is a Harlequin of another cover.
