If you're looking for a YA contemporary with some heart, pick this one up. aside from those two things it was a good read. I enjoyed this book for the most part, though the suspenseful aspect fell a little flat for me and I didn't love how much the hero was compared to the heroine's dead brother. I always find Kasie West's books more enjoyable to listen to rahter than to read, so I'm glad I was able to pick up this audio book from my library. Sometimes in YA I feel the narrators sound too old, but I could picture Hadley talking as I listened to this one. Moment of Truth is narrated by Caitlin Kelly. I liked the fun loving side he brought out of Hadley. Jackson shows Hadley she doesn't have to be perfect at everything and to take life a little less seriously. There is also a romantic interest in the story, Jackson. A lot of the book is about them trying to find out who this is. Hadley and her best friend Amelia are on the search and have different suspects in mind. She's on a quest to find out who this masked character is. When the masked Heath Hall distracts her from her swim meet, she has a bone to pick with him. She feels like she has something to prove to her parents and to herself. She always strives to be the best and is dedicated to all that she does. Hadley is a serious swimmer and a bit of an overachiever. Moment of Truth was fun to read and had a bit of suspense with a heartfelt ending. Kasie West does a great job writing sweet and cute YA. As Hadley gets closer to uncovering the masked boy’s identity, she also discovers some uncomfortable truths about herself-like she might resent the long shadow her late brother has cast over her family, that she isn’t as happy as she pretends to be with her life choices…and that she's falling for the last guy she ever thought she would like. She soon finds herself getting caught up in the mysterious world of the fake Heath Hall. The swim meet isn’t the first event the imposter has interrupted, but a little digging turns up a surprising number of people who could be Heath Hall, including Hadley's ex-boyfriend and her best friend’s crush. Instead, she’s determined to make sure he doesn’t bother her again. Only she’s not sure exactly who he is. So when a guy dressed as Hollywood’s latest action hero, Heath Hall, crashes her swim meet, she isn’t amused. Totally worth all the hard work, even if her aching shoulders don’t agree. At sixteen, Hadley Moore knows exactly who she is-a swimmer who will earn a scholarship to college. Beloved author Kasie West once again delivers a witty, lighthearted romance that will charm her legions of fans and is perfect for readers of Jenny Han and Huntley Fitzpatrick.
