Sarah Dunbar is in one of the first groups of black students to integrate into the all white Jefferson High School in Virginia in 1959. From the first day of school and onward, she and her cohorts are harassed and threatened by the white students (and the teachers). They are subject to a number of humiliations and violence. Sarah, an honor student at her all black school, is put into remedial classes simply because she is black and the white administration has decided that black kids aren’t capable of keeping up with the white kids intellectually. Sarah endures the endless days of being spit on, having things thrown at her, being called names, being pushed and shoved, etc. She does all this and tries to protect her little sister, who is also in the integrating group, at the same time. She harbors some ill feelings towards her parents and the local leaders of the NAACP for encouraging herself and the others to go into this school, but does her best to hold her head high and persevere.Meanwhile, there is a white student at the school, Linda Hairston, who is the daughter of the main newspaper’s editor and most outspoken critic of de-segregation. Linda hates and fears her father but has been brought up hearing negative things about black people and believes in all the “reasons” the races should stay “separate but equal”. She sees the new black students as “instigators” and is irritated that they weren’t happy to simply stay at their own school. She writes editorials for the school newspaper that blame the black kids for the abuse they are enduring at the hands of the whites. In her mind, they are ungrateful and lesser people who have arrived out of their selfishness to ruin her senior year.When Sarah and Linda end up assigned to work on a project together, both are upset about it. Sarah knows Linda’s feelings about herself and the other black kids, and Linda not only feels she is above having to work with Sarah on the project, but also fears her father’s reaction if he finds out about it. So, they decide to meet secretly. As they are forced to interact more and more, Linda starts to question the things she has been brought up to believe about blacks. However, she has a habit of seeing Sarah as different from the others, continuing her dislike for the other black students. Linda waivers back and forth between liking Sarah and hating her. Some of the things that come out of Linda’s mouth are so offensive, it’s hard to believe Sarah would even continue to try to get through to her, but she does, and they end up forming a special friendship.I really liked Lies We Tell Ourselves for the most part. I think it’s a very important book, and one that everyone should read, just to experience what Sarah and the others went through in a first person narrative. It’s so much different than reading about this period of history in a textbook or even a non-fiction book. This feels so much more personal. I felt the fear, anger, and the humiliation along with Sarah. I even empathized somewhat with Linda, who was so much a product of her environment and her overbearing father. That doesn’t excuse the way she acted, but I was able to understand her character. The secondary characters were well-developed, and I was able to see things from their points of view as well, especially Ruthie’s.The problem I had with Lies We Tell Ourselves, which is going to keep me from giving it five stars, is the budding romance between Sarah and Linda. It’s not that it was an inter-racial lesbian relationship, I don’t have a problem with that, it’s more that it was a relationship between two people from such different mindsets, backgrounds, and histories. I never felt that Linda accepted the equality of blacks, especially so much so that she would consider getting involved romantically with Sarah. I also never understood Sarah’s interest in Linda, other than to educate her on her misconceptions of the different races. They just seemed too different to me. I never really felt any chemistry between them either, unless it was supposed to be in the almost constant arguments. I understand the link between racial and sexual prejudice, but I think it was just too much to take on in one book. I think it would have been much better had the relationship between Linda and Sarah been left as simply a friendship. However, that said, I would still recommend the book as a good eye-opener into the history of integration.You can see more of my book reviews at Bookworm Book Reviews.

I had decided a while ago that I was going to give this book a try. It honestly surprised me because it was a constant what's going to happen next because every time you turn around something new is happening. It was definitely a good decision, especially being from the LGBT community who is also engaged to a beautiful woman who happens to be African American. It just shows that civil rights has always been a real problem. Not just as an African American, but as being gay. It was easy to relate to because had I been born earlier, it could have just as easily been me or my fiancée.

This was very well-written and, thankfully, clean of typos. Also, for people not familiar with this point in history, certainly an eye-opening read. However, as a person who was already familiar with stories about the integration of schools, I found myself wanting a little less history and a little more personal interaction with our two protagonists and their families. And while I kept wondering how the author would hopefully pull off a happy ending in this time period and environment, she managed to find a way that was at least hopeful. Personally, I wanted to see a little bit more of that part of the story, and would certainly be willing to buy and read a sequel.

For me, the most compelling aspect of this book was its realness in plot, because at one point, the beginnings of integration in schools was real. The characters, the dialogue, and development of the story were authentic and heartwrenching, and I believe Talley has written a beautifully crafted work that highlights history, through the means of fiction, with which can be translated to the up and coming young adult generations. Although as adult it was difficult to repetitively read the N word used throughout a YA novel, Talley would not have been able to honestly represent the times without doing so. Overall, I was impressed with the wide span of the conflicts this novel covers, which certainly stretches far beyond race, and I would hope that the youth of today (and of the future) pick up this text.

I liked that both views were seen in this book. Showing how difficult it could be to stand up against a crowd is something timeless. Racism and bullying is something relevant today, even though many still insist on turning a blind eye. The fact that homosexuality was also something the characters had to come to terms with, just adds to how more of his some things unfortunately haven't come as far as we would like to believe. Great book for teens to read, and one they will easily get into.

Lies we tell ourselves is a book of rights. Not just those of black individuals but also a hint of rights for those in the LGBTQ community. This takes a hard look at what integration in a school in the south looked like for 8 kids just trying to get what they should be entitled to. I say it's so so because I feel the relationship that was in this book is a bit forced and took away from the rest of the story which made me not super interested in finishing this book. I am glad that I did though.

But this book made me question myself and the people around me, and broadened my horizons. Such a ride! I would really like to read everything this author used as a reference for Lies We Tell Ourselves. I didn't expect this book to be this intense, and yet make me feel hopeful. Discrimination based on skin color and sexual orientation still very much exists, but one sacrifice of a brave soul at a time, and everyone will be closer and closer to realizing we are all real, living, breathing, FEELING human beings. We all deserve to be our true self, no matter what miseducated lies other people, or we ourselves, tell us.

This was a very hard book to read and I really expected less about race and civil rights and more about lgbt issues but I guess when it comes down to it its pretty much the same issue,inequality! Difficult to read with everything going on today but a good book that makes you think if you're open to other opinions!
