Synopsis
Shortlisted for The British Book Awards 2022 Pageturner Book of the Year
A white lie never hurt anyone, right?
Georgia is lying to her best friend Lydia. Just a little white lie - a fake Twitter account to support Lydia's struggling business. No harm meant. But maybe this wasn't Georgia's best idea ever.
Because Lydia wants to confide in her new (fake) Twitter friend. About Georgia and her husband Nick, who might be having an affair. Georgia wants out. Except what if it's true? She needs to trick Lydia into revealing all.
But there's another possibility. Lydia could be lying right back...
Has Georgia's worst idea ever turned out to be Lydia's best idea ever?
