This romantic novella features a girl jaded with men and a
man leery of women after his fame, set with a backdrop of
Sydney. Henry has written a young adult trilogy about to be
filmed. Kate on the other hand is slogging through a PhD
and keeps getting set up by her pal Lisa with heavy-
drinking men, so she finally tells ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE and
invents a boyfriend. Henry, incognito, has spotted her at
a club and Lisa mischievously arranges for him to claim to
be Kate's boyfriend - in front of her staggeringly
unfaithful ex-fiancé.
Since Kate had changed her social site status and told
friends she was seeing someone, it's impossible for her to
deny Henry's claim right away. And if she did want a
boyfriend, he'd be a fine choice. But getting set up this
way feels like a practical joke so she quietly tells him
she's not interested. Her ex slinks up to Henry and
badmouths Kate, saying she just uses men. Henry doesn't
even have..
to think twice about decking him.
From there the story smoothly moves to scenic spots such as
a bistro with a view of the Opera House, and Bondi Beach,
with Henry still keeping mum about his identity and Kate
still the victim of character assassination. This is a fun
read and when Kate inevitably finds out that the man who
wants to be with her has been less than honest, she can be
excused for feeling angry; even the fact that he's her
favourite author isn't sufficient to overcome her ire,
where most people would be asking him to autograph their
books! The twists continue and Loretta Hill paints a
civilised, romantic picture of Australian city life, where
a glass of wine and a view are all you need to enjoy the
warm evening.
ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE is suitable for young adults or
adults who like their romances gentle but addressing real
issues, and an enjoyable treat.
