"I Love You": And all the other Lies in Between - Paperback

A girl begins to recount her trip abroad, depicting the people, places, and events that occur during her trip. What begins with her writing about the day to day of travel and her emotions being away from home segues into memories of her past. At first it appears to be emotions surrounding a challenging semester at school but turns into further recollections of her childhood and adolescence. What is she trying to escape by going abroad? More importantly, what has she been trying to escape her whole life? Through a combination of flashbacks, retold stories, and haunting moments from the past a picture is painted of a young woman who has been attempting to not only escape, but move on from her difficult past. Will remembering these events create the opportunity to finally move past them or will she get lost in the past unable to break free from those memories towards her future?
