Secrets Untold
When 15-year-old Porsha Swint overhears an argument between her parents, she learns some very painful news. The man she thought was her dad is only a substitute for her real father--Dion McNeil, a well known national sportscaster. Even Porsha's BFFs, Tara Chance and Danielle Davis, can't seem to console her. Porsha, once a straight-A student, begins slacking off in school.
Her parents realize their secrets have been revealed, and set out on a quest to make things right. In the meantime, the media has a field day with this information, since Dion McNeil was married to another woman during the time Porsha was conceived. Porsha meets her half-sister Jasmine McNeil, and tension between the two equates to World War III. Will things ever be the same for Porsha now that her world has been turned upside down?
Secrets Untold is the latest book in the hit teen series - The Lip Gloss Chronicles.

Porsha is your ideal teenager. She gets good grades, she is independent and she knows how to put little boys in their places.

Porsha’s world comes tumbling down when she over hears her mother and father deep in a private conversation. For Porsha’s entire life, her parents had kept the devastating secret of her paternity.
She soon finds that her real father is a well-known former athlete and the father of her high school nemesis, Jasmine McNeil. Spoiled and snobbish Jasmine doesn’t take the news too well, but then again neither does Porsha.

SECRETS UNTOLD was a good book. If I had two dads i would be so happy that i had two dads to love me and give me what one dad can't. But might also get mad cause the dad that i thought was my real dad was not my real dad. But the book was really intresting
