Stayner make Livie question what she really wants for her future. For as long as she can remember, Livie has wanted to be a pediatric oncologist, but these weekly chats with Dr. The summer before college, he subjects Livie to a summer full of dares and tasks to complete, and she excels at all of them.
His tactics and methodologies are anything but conventional. Stayner is not your typical “lay-down-on-the-white-couch-and-let’s-talk” therapist. Concerned that Livie hasn’t really dealt with their parents’ deaths, Kacey recommends that she chat with Dr. She has maintained a spotless academic record and has never gone through any teenage rebellions. Livie is on her way to Princeton for college, fulfilling her father’s dream of attending his alma mater. One Tiny Lie takes place a few years after Ten Tiny Breaths. Through Kacey’s point-of-view, it appears Livie dealt with her parents’ death extremely well, much better than her sister. For years, Kacey bottled up her emotions and behaved badly, and it all came crashing down. In Ten Tiny Breaths, we saw Kacey struggle with the trauma of losing her parents.

Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. He’s an arrogant ass who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare and everything she doesn’t want in a guy. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots, a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say ‘no’ to, and Ashton, the gorgeous captain of the men’s rowing team. Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy that she’s going to someday marry. She promised she would.and she’s done her best over the past seven years with every choice, with every word, with every action. But underneath that exterior is a little girl hanging onto the last words her father ever spoke to her. Livie has always been the stable one of the two Cleary sisters, handling her parents' tragic death and Kacey's self-destructive phase with strength and maturity.
