Summary via Goodreads:
It all starts with one little lie…
Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell lies to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money and liven up a boring senior year. With the help of his friends Preston and Parvati, Max starts a business providing forged permission slips and cover stories for the students of Vista Palisades High. Liars, Inc. they call it. Suddenly everybody needs something and the cash starts pouring in. Who knew lying could be so lucrative?
When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesn’t think twice about hooking him up. Until Preston never comes home. Then the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead the cops to Preston’s body. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.
Can Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didn’t commit? In a story that Kirkus Reviews called "Captivating to the very end," Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.
Why I'm Waiting...
I LOVE a good mystery...
with an unreliable main character...
and making great fiction out of something that could realistically be a headline. I can't wait!
The more I see this, the more excited I get to actually read it! Great pick, here's WoW

OMG yes I cannot wait for this one either! I loved The Art of Lainey, so this is bound to be glorious.
ReplyDeleteI actually read this one earlier, and I think that your expectations are right on the nose. I do wish I'd waited though, because apparently there are changes in the finished version. Hope you love it when you get it!
