I thought it was creative. I don't think I could lie like that though, it seems like there would be a lot of things you would have to lie about in that one lie.
This is where I'm at in the book now. She's going back to their house tomorrow. I, like Jenny, don't know if I could do that good of a lie - and I wouldn't want to lie if there was a chance I'd have to fess up and possibly hurt them later. We'll see what happens. I'm thinking her birth mom is involved with the jars somehow. Hopeful thinking.
I think that it was creative and probably okay under the intial pretense. However, I think I wouldn't have the conscience to let it go so long once I knew where it was going. I felt so bad for her when Adam died and even though he never knew she had cut off the great relationship she had with him. I'm sure that she felt awful about that. She did do a good job of rectifying the problem in the end though!
For me, it was hard to accept her lie. Whenever I read books or watch movies where people start telling little lies, the little lies soon turn into big ones that they can't get out of. I always tell myself - I just wish these people would tell the truth right at the beginning. It might smart a little at first, but it would almost always save some major problems later. Despite the frequent embarrassments that might come, the truth is always a better path as far as I'm concerned.
