If I Lie by Corrine Jackson follows the story of Quinn, a high school senior living in a small town in the aftermath of a tragic event. Quinn's boyfriend, Tucker, enlisted in the military and was deployed to Afghanistan, where he was reported missing in action. However, Quinn is burdened by a terrible secret: she knows Tucker is not actually missing, but he is dead. Fearing the stigma and isolation that would come with the truth, Quinn decides to lie and tell everyone that Tucker is still alive. This decision creates a web of deception that alienates her from her friends and family, and Quinn is left to navigate a world filled with painful memories, guilt, and the fear of being found out.

As Quinn struggles with the consequences of her lie, she becomes close to a fellow student, George, who is dealing with his own challenges. Through her interactions with George, Quinn begins to realize the importance of honesty, trust, and confronting her own emotions. The novel explores themes of grief, loyalty, and identity, as Quinn faces the difficult journey of understanding who she really is outside of her lies. The narrative delves into the emotional complexity of dealing with loss, the consequences of keeping secrets, and the difficulty of moving forward when the past is so painful. Ultimately, Quinn's journey is one of self-discovery and learning to reconcile with the truth.
