Published on : 2021 || Format : ebook || Location : Canada One line review : When Kiran runs away from home to another country, to escape her rapist, she doesn't realize how long it is going to take her to feel like herself again. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “Passports and boarding passes, please,” drawls the blond, goateed man, towering a foot above us both. I pass him both my and Mom’s documents and attempt the smile that every person of color has mastered. The one that reads, I’m thoroughly nonthreatening. Please don’t pull me aside and racially profile me. Thoughts : I can't remember how I found this book or why I chose to read it. It was available on my library's Overdrive catalog and I'm glad I made the time to read it. If I Tell You the Truth tells the story of Kiran's arrival in Canada as a pregnant graduate student, though in reality, she was also running away from her rapist back home in India.

Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books wants to know what we're reading. I'm only too happy to oblige!
Although April was a hectic month for me, I had a lot of reading done this month. I hope May turns out to be the same for me, but I'm certainly counting on more downtime as well.
Books completed in the last week
The Coffins of Little Hope by Timothy Schaffert: This book has been receiving a lot of buzz lately, but for some reason it didn't work well for me. In Zanesville by Jo Ann Beard: I enjoyed this book a lot! I can't wait to review this - hopefully this week itself! Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten: After all the heavy reading, I wanted some light reading and so I picked this one. This was a cute book but it didn't work too well for me.
News from over my blog
Reviews up!
I barely got to any of the books on my pile last week, so my reading for this week has the same set of books.
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón: Since I already have two review books lined for this week, I figured one non-review book might be nice to ease some pressure that I was talking of yesterday. This book has been on my shelf for ages, so I'm glad to be eventually getting to it!
The Lost Girls by Amanda Pressner, Jennifer Baggett, and Holly Corbett: I just started this one yesterday and it's wonderful reading so far. It reads like an adventure by three girls with whom I could relate so well.
Kamchatka by Marcelo Figueras: I haven't yet started this one, so I'm hoping to do so sometime this week. It sounds fascinating - set in Buenos Aires, from the perspective of a 10-year old, whose family is going into hiding.
