For as long as she could remember, Dakota Skye has
been cursed with a super power. She has the ability to see the truth in any lie
she hears. From small, harmless white lies, to the more devious kind, they have
come from the people that she should trust the most; her family, friends and
teachers. These lies have snowballed, leading to her becoming bitter and
apathetic towards the world around her. Now seventeen, Dakota just watches the
world happen around her, unmotivated to join it. She has a boyfriend who plays
in a semi-popular local rock band and her best friend from childhood, but finds
little joy in her own life. One day, Jonah comes into town. It only takes a few
days before Dakota notices something about him that sets him apart from the
other people in her life. He doesn’t lie. Through her friendship with Jonah, her
eyes are opened to the world around her and she sees that there is something out
there more than all the lies. There is a possibility of something different…
something better. If only he wasn’t her boyfriend’s best friend. Now she must
make a choice. Can she go back to the apathy that has dictated her life,
ignoring something potentially amazing? Can she take the leap into the unknown
with Jonah, ignoring all the repercussions that may come from that decision? Is
he really the person that she thinks he is and wants him to be? The only thing
that becomes clear is that Dakota can no longer be a spectator in her own life.
She has to look at her life as it was, is and could be and make a choice for the
first time. |
