Starting with the main character, Cameron is not at all someone that’s easy to like. In actuality, If I’m Being Honest, is its own version of the romantic-comedy, and it does quite a good job of being an enjoyable and satisfying story. This is the second book by the writing couple Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, and along with their first book written together titled Always Never Yours, was written with a Shakespeare play involved in it.īut don’t worry, it’s not a retelling in a modern day scenario, if that’s what you’re dreading. In the process of doing so, she finds herself making friends with the unlikeliest of classmates and doing things she didn’t think she would ever find herself doing. But being who she is, someone who isn’t afraid to speak her mind quite bluntly, even if it is harshly honest, isn’t going to cut it with Andrew, and so she plots to change her ways for the sake of getting Andrew as her boyfriend, using Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew as the inspiration to change her ways. She knows what she wants and makes sure she gets it, even when it comes to her neighbor/classmate/sometimes-friend Andrew Richmond. And she knows it, but it doesn’t matter because she’s still one of the most popular and most beautiful girls in her rich, high-society, privileged Beaumont prep school. It centers on Cameron Bright, a mean girl, a bully if you will. IF I’M BEING HONEST was quite honestly one of the most fun books I’ve read in a while as far as contemporary stories go.
