Simone Garcia-Hampton is starting over at a new school, and this time things will be different.
She's making real friends, making a name for herself as student director of Rent, and making a play for Miles, the guy who makes her melt every time he walks into a room.
The last thing she wants is for word to get out that she's HIV-positive, because last time . . . well, last time things got ugly.
Simone isn't like everyone else, she may look like it, but she's keeping a secret big enough to destroy everything she's worked so hard for and if it gets out, she'll need to start all over again.
But then she starts to fall for Miles, the lacrosse team player, who is also one of the set people for the beloved play that she is directing at school. She likes him and he likes her back, but there's a catch...she has HIV.
As Simone wades through this new found relationship with Miles, her friends and her loving parents. Someone is on the war path to spill her secret to the whole school and possibly the town, but not if she can tell people first. The only question is, who is it?
Who ever thought that starting a new school would be so hard?
Full Disclosure by Camryn Garrett, was an absolute pleasure to read. Firstly, would like to thank NetGally and the publisher for giving me the chance to read this book, very thankful for it.
I'll be honest, at first I didn't think that I would enjoy it, boy was I wrong! The whole story is so important, it focuses on a topic that in some ways I still don't think it's very talked about, I can even say that I learnt quite a bit from this book and I'm happy and more mindful that I did.
The way that Garrett has portrayed every character was magnificent. Simone is such a strong character, both physically and mentally and I just love her for it. I love the way that Miles is with Simone, he doesn't let her illness bother him and is more than happy to stand up for her which is just beautiful and sweet, as you should have someone like that.
This is such a powerful, meaningful, heartfelt and overall beautiful book and I will be defiantly screaming from the rooftops about this one. I will also be purchasing this when it's released as it's a book that I think everyone should read and own. If you read one more book this year, please let it be this one.
I will be giving this book 10 out of 10
