Sep 04, 2012 Leigh Moore rated it it was amazing · (Review from the author)

TTAF is one of the first books I ever wrote. It's a happy little love story that I hope will make readers smile, swoon, and fall in love.

Maybe it will surprise you, maybe it will share a little something about how trying to make people be what they aren't is bad and how change is good. But mostly I hope it warms your heart and spreads the joy. <3 ...more

He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not . . .

It can be hard when you're a teenager with a crush. Not only do you have to compete with all those raging hormones, but it's easy to idolize someone that doesn't idolize you back. I remember those years, and man were they painful. I was so shy I had a hard time ordering a burger at McDonalds. How on earth could I talk to boys?

In Leigh T. Moore's book, The Truth About Faking, Harley has a similar problem. She's obsessed with a boy na ...more

But all the stereotypes those images conjure are turned upside down by Moore as she brings this small-town to life with characters like a super-hot massage therapist for a mom and cranky Mrs. Bender who speaks inappropriately about bodily processes. Leigh delivers ...more

Harley is sure life would be perfect if she could just be Trent's girlfriend. A car accident leads to a chance to 'make him jealous' by pretending to date the new guy, but it leads to a series of events that is so far from what she expects that her whole world is turned on its head.

This is a book I had the honor to read pre-publication. It's a great contemporary young adult tale, focused on romance, but with more real-life issues at the heart of it—questions about how we see ourselves and other ...more

A sweet, young romance of chance, choices, and a little stubborn tease.

First glance at the cover image (including the font choice, which I love!), and you just know sweetness is on its way.

Harley has a strong sense about her, yet a snippet of spunk that threatens to escape through each of her words. She has that typical girl sensibility about her, characteristic of a high school girl from a small town. But there's also a depth to her that, for a while, not even she can see.

Now Jason is just so . ...more
