Quote #7

I felt my mouth go dry as the impact of what they'd discovered finally began to hit me. I stepped forward, my eyes narrowing to the screen on the table, and the list of names there. Five girls, five profiles, four pictures. Mclean Sweet. Eliza Sweet. Lizbet Sweet. Beth Sweet. (13.127)

Well this isn't good—Mclean should have really deleted all of her old profiles when she moved to a new town. What was she thinking? If she were a secret spy, she'd be the worst at covering her tracks.

Quote #8

They'd all been so honest with me, so open. Dave and his past embarrassments, Riley and her dirtbags, Ellis and the Love Van, Deb and, well, everything… With this, they had perfectly good reason to doubt everything I had told them in return. (13.129)

Mclean's not just embarrassed about all her past personas—she's also worried that she'll lose all of her new friends. After all, who wants to be friends with a crazy pathological liar who has multiple identities?

Quote #9

"You should have told me," she said over her shoulder. Her face was flushed, angry. "You let me just go along here like an idiot, thinking things were okay." (13.133)

Mclean's dad might typically get away with leaving a town and slipping off from all the complications of departing, but not this time. Opal's going to call him out on his nonsense—especially the fact that he lied to her about how well Luna Blu was doing.
