Sig nu sandheden er en tragikomisk fortælling om en ung fyrs søgen efter sandheden, kærligheden og vigtigheden af ens relationer. River Dean er dybt ulykkelig. Hans kæreste gennem to år har slået op med ham og har revet hans hjerte ud i processen. Men meget står til at ændre sig, da han tilfældigvis møder en støttegruppe for unge mennesker. River lader, som om han har et marijuanamisbrug, men fortæller i virkeligheden om sit mislykkede forhold til Penny. Han bliver hurtigt viklet ind i alle sine løgne, og det hele går galt, da han begynder at få følelser for den kleptomaniske pige Daphne fra gruppen. »Intelligent og ironisk, fortællingen er gennemsyret af ærlighed, selvom om River er ret successfuld til at opfinde små hvide løgne.« – Publishers Weekly »Jeg lover, at du vil blive forelsket i River Dean, selvom han er falsk, en stalker uden kørekort, en dårlig danser, en dårlig ven og en tryghedssøgende ulykke. Han er sjov, og han er ærlig. Hans hjerte er blevet smadret på seks forskellige måder, og han prøver at fikse det med tacos og løgne – men er det ikke sandheden for de fleste af os?« – E. Lockhart, New York Times bestseller-forfatter til Vi var løgnere

Cosa c''è di peggio che essere scaricati di punto in bianco dalla ragazza che si ama disperatamente? Niente, River Dean ne è convinto al cento per cento. Perché è proprio quello che gli è capitato in un inaspettato pomeriggio di fine primavera: Penny l''ha mollato, senza una parola, una spiegazione. E senza nemmeno un passaggio a casa. Se n''è andata, lasciandolo da solo, a piedi, dall''altra parte di Los Angeles. River si mette quindi in cammino, deciso ad autocommiserarsi per il resto dei propri giorni. Finché un''insegna richiama la sua attenzione. Un''insegna che promette una Seconda Occasione a chiunque abbia il coraggio di mettersi in gioco. L''insegna di un gruppo di supporto per ragazzi problematici. Senza pensarci due volte, River si unisce al club. È pronto a tutto pur di guadagnarsi la sua seconda occasione. Anche a mentire spudoratamente e a innamorarsi, di nuovo. Pieno di equivoci esilaranti e personaggi irresistibili, Il Club delle Seconde Occasioni è un vero e proprio caso editoriale: acclamato dalla critica ancor prima della pubblicazione negli Stati Uniti, diventerà un film per Paramount Pictures. Un romanzo che vi farà piangere, ridere e riflettere. Ma soprattutto che vi rimarrà nel cuore per molto, molto tempo. "Leggere questo libro è come incontrare un nuovo amico." - Markus Zusak, autore del bestseller Storia di una ladra di libri "Un romanzo indimenticabile che celebra l''amicizia sull''amore e la verità sulla passione" - Matthew Quick, autore del pluripremiato Il lato positivo "River Dean è un bugiardo cronico, un amico sleale e anche un pessimo ballerino, ma non potrete fare a meno di innamorarvi di lui" - Emily Lockhart, autrice bestseller internazionale di L''estate dei segreti perduti ''Uno dei testi più divertenti e freschi scritti negli ultimi anni'' - Stefano Piedimonte

For fans of Sarah Dessen, Jennifer Smith, E.L. Lockhart, and John Green, this delightful, often comic coming-of-age novel stars the lovable, brokenhearted River, the streets of LA, and an irresistible cast of characters. Seventeen-year-old River doesn’t know what to do with himself when Penny, the girl he adores, breaks up with him. He lives in LA, where nobody walks anywhere, and Penny was his ride; he never bothered getting a license. He’s stuck. He’s desperate. Okay . . . he’s got to learn to drive. But first, he does the unthinkable—he starts walking. He stumbles upon a support group for teens with various addictions. He fakes his way into the meetings, and begins to connect with the other kids, especially an amazing girl. River wants to tell the truth, but he can’t stop lying, and his tangle of deception may unravel before he learns how to handle the most potent drug of all: true love. Praise for Tell Us Something True “I promise you’ll fall in love with River Dean, even though he''s a faker, a stalker, a non-driver, a bad dancer, a bad friend and a codependent mess. He’s funny and he’s true. His heart is smashed six different ways and he’s trying to mend it with tacos and lies—but isn’t that true of all of us?” —E. Lockhart, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars “A heartfelt tale that elevates truth over passion and friends over lovers. Reinhardt keeps it real. Much respect.” —Matthew Quick, author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock “A sharp-witted, hilarious, and addicting novel about being lost and discovering your best self. Highly recommended!” —Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling author of More Happy Than Not "Oh, how I love a novel where the hero ties himself up, Houdini style, and dives into his own predicament. Once again Dana Reinhardt has written a charming, compassionate, very clever comedy, and this one reminds us how a big lie can reveal the truth.” —Laura McNeal, author of Dark Water, National Book Award Finalist “Tell Us Something True is hope, it is humanity, it is original, funny, wrenching, real, and intelligently surprising.” —Beth Kephart, author of Small Damages, Going Over, and This Is the Story of You “When you start reading a Dana Reinhardt book, it’s like discovering a new friend. By the time you’ve turned the final page it’s like saying goodbye to your best friend, and I can think of nothing better to ask of a writer.” —Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief
