YOU NEVER FORGET YOUR WORST.
âA twisted modern love storyâ (Parade), Tell Me Lies is a sexy, thrilling novel about that one person who still haunts youâthe other one. The wrong one. The one you couldnât let go of. The one youâll never forget.
Lucy Albright is far from her Long Island upbringing when she arrives on the campus of her small California college and happy to be hundreds of miles from her motherâwhom sheâs never forgiven for an act of betrayal in her early teen years. Quickly grasping at her fresh start, Lucy embraces college life and all it has to offer. And then she meets Stephen DeMarco. Charming. Attractive. Complicated. Devastating.
Confident and cocksure, Stephen sees something in Lucy that no one else has, and sheâs quickly seduced by this vision of herself, and the sense of possibility that his attention brings her. Meanwhile, Stephen is determined to forget an incident buried in his past that, if exposed, could ruin him, and his single-minded drive for success extends to winning, and keeping, Lucyâs heart.
Lucy knows thereâs something about Stephen that isnât to be trusted. Stephen knows Lucy canât tear herself away. And their addicting entanglement will have consequences they never could have imagined.
Alternating between Lucyâs and Stephenâs voices, Tell Me Lies follows their connection through college and post-college life in New York City. âReaders will be enrapturedâ (Booklist) by the âunforgettable beauties in this very sexy storyâ (Kirkus Review). With the psychological insight and biting wit of Luckiest Girl Alive, and the yearning ambitions and desires of Sweetbitter, this keenly intelligent and supremely resonant novel chronicles the exhilaration and dilemmas of young adulthood and the difficulty of letting goâeven when you know you should.
