Tell Me No Lies
Author: Adele Griffin
Publisher: Chapel Hill, North Carolina : Algonquin Young Readers, 2018
Annotation:
This coming-of-age story is set in the late 1980s, following the perspective of Lizzy Swift, a high school senior. Her life is enviable and fruitful in all aspects - friends, popularity and dating life. However, after meeting the new girl, Claire Reynolds, Lizzy finds herself swept up by the street life, clubs and the art scene. Her new friend, despite her sense of adventure and rebellion, seems to harbour a secret - something about an awful breakup but no more details than that. Lizzy coaxes the complete truth out of Claire and in turn, her dreams and built relationships spiral into something unfamiliar. Griffin portrays how new elements in our lives, especially as we break into adulthood, can completely turn everything we know inside-out. It is highlighted, that part of this process is to experience or be a part of deception.
