IF YOU MUST LIE, BE BRIEF
Ruth struggles to get the best grades, driven by the illusion of entering Medicine, but lately her performance is falling. And is that Ruth has fallen in love, but not a boy in his environment, with a boy that knew by Internet and who shares her passion for reading. They spent many years sharing and thus getting to know each other but as Ruth is determined and her virtual love refuses a date, she intends to surprise him, so starts her inquiries with the few data she has available with the help of an old friend.

And everything turns out to be false, a lie, neither the photo nor the name are real. So who is really that special boy? She confesses everything to her parents and feels regret for the abandonment of her studies. Soon her friend finds the whole truth and decides to reveal the identity of the boy with whom she shared the most intimate emotions. It comes from prison, the boy is a murderer. The disappointment for her was very great, however she knew how to overcome, and she continued her studies in medicine and now maintains a cordial friendship relationship with that young man.
