At Bard, race is both invisible and hypervisible, and Shania’s new friends are split on what they see. There’s Catherine, the school’s queen bee, who unexpectedly takes Shania under her wing. Then there’s Prescott, the golden boy who seems perfect…except for the disturbing rumors about an altercation he had with a Black student who left the school.

When the truth comes to light, Shania will have to make a choice and face the violence of her silence.

Brief Summary The Truth About White Lies by Olivia A Cole

The Truth About White Lies is a book that was not written for me. It’s written for white teens who are at the beginning of their journey. At the stage where they feel that pit of the stomach feeling that a comment is wrong, that a joke isn’t funny, but aren’t yet at the point of speaking up. Of knowing and putting into words why it isn’t funny. To seeing the ways they benefit from their skin color in a world that judges based on appearance. Because to not be aware of your skin color is very much an experience only for certain people.So while Shania can be a frustrating character, part of that is precisely the point. Because that feeling already can examine the bystander effects, the ways she doesn’t understand why ‘it always has to be about white people’. She’s at the beginning moments. And where The Truth About White Lies excels is by illustrating a story where Shania has to truly reckon with her privilege, to allow what others are saying in, and to have her moment of understanding.
