Love & Lies: Marisol's Story by Ellen WittlingerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just read Hard Love this summer as part of a twitter chat (#yearofya - topic books of the 80s & 90s) and was so happy Wittlinger wrote this follow-up as part of Marisol's story. Marisol is out and proud, has taken a year off to make money for Stanford and she wants to write a book. She meets Gio at her creative writing class and even though it is awkward (he proclaimed his love for her & she spurned him) they keep trying the friendship avenue. Gio is now seeing Diana (Marisol likes her, she is a good person) and Marisol's best friend roommate is now seeing a guy. Marisol keeps looking for love and thinks she has found it in their creative writing teacher, Olivia. The title of the book says it all- Marisol is used and bullied by Olivia but she tells herself this is love. What will happen to Marisol as her friends try to warn her what they see and she does not? A perfect follow up to Hard Love!
