Welcome to the Six Truths and a Lie by Ream Shukairy Book Tour hosted by TBR & Beyond Book Tours I’m excited to share this emotional mystery.

About Six Truths and a Lie

Six Muslim teens are falsely accused of a deadly attack in this timely and harrowing examination of America’s justice system, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas and Samira Ahmed.

As fireworks pop at a rowdy Fourth of July bonfire party, an explosion off the California coast levels an oil rig, and a beach town reels from the aftermath of tragedy. At the center are six Muslim teens.

An old soul stuck in a modern world. An aspiring doctor caught in the wrong place. An influencer with a reputation to protect. A perfect daughter with secrets. A soccer star headed for Stanford. An immigrant in love. Six strangers with something to hide and everything to lose. Faced with accusations of terrorism, the Six are caught in a political game that will pit them against one another. As police investigate what happened that night, which secrets will be worth the cost of freedom?

They each must decide: Betray the others to guarantee their own futures or expose secrets to earn justice for them all.

Review for Six Truths and a Lie

Follow along on this emotional mystery. It is both an easy read and an engaging story. The short chapters help to make it easier to read in spurts. It does feature some heavy topics such as racism. In a nutshell, six Muslim teens are falsely accused of a terrorist attack. I’m a fan of dual POV’s and will readily admit six POV’s blew me away – such a great way to tell this story! The story starts with a bang and then returns to a normal pace as we learn about the kids and everything they are going through. I do recommend this book.
