What a book! Beautifully written with a unique story that sucked me in the further I got. I loved Lark, she is adorable and innocent and frankly, learning her way in the world. And the world is not what her dad has told her. It was far from it.

Lark was born to extremely government hating parents who believe that the government is there to monitor them. The vaccines, processed food and schooling - to name a few - is a way for the government to control their life. Lark didn't have much options in the belief until one day, she decided that she wanted to go to school. She wanted to learn. To read. To be normal. From that one decision, Lark will have to jump through many obstacles and make many decisions to finally be who she wants to be and not who she was made to be.

It was a charming story of self discovery and helped remind me of what I take for granted. I love how the story was written out and there was consistent pace in story telling. There is EMOTION with this book and I loved every minute of it. It was raw and there were parts that made my heart melt.

The Truth About Everything is a well written book balancing story telling and character development. I found loveable characters and frustrating ones. I found a new point of view. Overall, this is an excellent read that I would recommend to anyone.
