Heart attacks happen to other people #thingsIthoughtweretrue

When Morgan’s mom gets sick, it’s hard not to panic. Without her mother, she would have no one—until she finds out the dad who walked out on her as a baby isn’t as far away as she thought…

Adam is a stuck-up, uptight jerk #thingsIthoughtweretrue

Now that they have a summer job together, Morgan’s getting to know the real Adam, and he’s actually pretty sweet…in a nerdy-hot kind of way. He even offers to go with her to find her dad. Road trip, anyone?

5000 Twitter followers are all the friends I need #thingsIthoughtweretrue

With Adam in the back seat, a hyper chatterbox named Amy behind the wheel, and plenty of Cheetos to fuel their trip, Morgan feels ready for anything. She’s not expecting a flat tire, a missed ferry, a fake girlfriend…and that these two people she barely knew before the summer started will become the people she can’t imagine living without.

If 16 Things I Thought Were True was about a roadtrip and a girl who is too obsessed with twitter and not all the other stuff, I think I would have liked it more.
The stuff with Morgan’s mom being sick and finding her dad are okay, but Morgan acts like the biggest baby anytime either of her parents do…anything, really.

The “reveals” and the obvious ploy for tears annoyed me – even more than Morgan did. I feel like the entire ending was unnecessary and completely ruined the story for me.

I knew based on the synopsis that 16 Things I Thought Were True could go either way for me. Sadly, it went the bad way, but the hashtag on the cover did warn me.
