One Great Lie by Deb Caletti
One Great Tale is a tale of one girl's passion and love of writing.
What would you do if you were allowed to spend a summer with your idol? The one person who motivates you to be something more than just your average self and makes you want to be exceptional? That is precisely the opportunity presented to Charlotte when she gets the chance to spend the summer in Venice with her favorite author for whom she idolizes and learns from him on a writing retreat. During her summer of inspiration and discovery, she takes the chance to try to unlock the mystery behind her long-lost family member's (Isabella di Angelo's) hidden poetry that may have been stolen from her hundreds of years ago.
When she writes, there is a love that makes her pour out all her emotions, weaving a tale, bleeding her soul on paper, describing the outcome of stolen passion.
Deb Caletti put so much raw emotion in this story that you felt the pain deep in your soul; it would bring me to tears. It was overwhelming at times, but there wasn't always pain. There was joy and happiness too. The fun and enjoyment were terrific and gave a blissful feeling. Many times, I would catch myself smiling and feeling a hopeful fluttering for Charlotte. I find it amazing when an author can write so many different emotions to give you such strong reactions with such ease. It's a fantastic accomplishment, and others should praise this work.
I have so many things I want to say about this story, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I will keep this vague. One Great Lie by Deb Caletti is a journey of one girl's unexpected self-discovery while she uncovers the mystery surrounding her long-lost family member's stolen life. While trying to discover Isabella's story from the dark and murky water of the past, she finds herself along the way. Sometimes One Great Lie can change one person's entire existence and shape the rest of their lives.
