Prompt - Does the title fit the story? Why or why not?

I think that the title fits perfectly with the book. In the book, George Lopez, basically talks about his life and how it has changed after he turned 50. This book has been really funny and he tells his story in a way that people that aren't even close to 50 can say to themselves, "Ohh yeah, I remember when I said that" The title fits the story in a way that isn't really about lies, but about how you act; towards your friends or family. George says a lot about how he now acts a lot more lazy and how "it is okay for me now since I'm old".

The title also fits the story because of how it actually looks on the cover of the book. On the cover it looks like he is saying "I'm not gonna lie" but he is thinking, "And other lies you tell when you turn 50". I feel like he also expresses a lot about how he always had so many ideas about what was going on in the world around him, but he knew that he shouldn't say anything, unless he would be seen as disrespectful or he would just be seen as a bad person because of what he thinks. I feel like this is very true for people nowadays. Mostly celebrities. I feel like they are under the spotlight so much that they feel like if they express what they feel, even a little bit, the whole world will turn against them and their career will just crumble to pieces.

In the book George always says how he is at the "turning age" and how turning 50 has really changed his mind about things in life. I feel like that is a point that he really wants to express. I'm really not sure why, and I don't think I'll know what he means until I actually turn 50, but he always talks about how people see him differently because he's old. He makes it seem funny, like he says that when he goes golfing all the "young kids" let him cut them in line because he's old.
