Lia's four best friends have always been there for her, in good times and bad. It's thanks to the loyal supportive friendship of Marley, Abi, Makayla, and Jules that Lia's doing okay after her mom dies in a car crash.
But the summer before seventh grade, Lia's feeling out of sync with her friends. And after a vacation up in Maine, Lia returns home to find her friends...well, different. For one thing, they're arguing more than ever. Also, they're competing. And some of them are making her feel like a "late bloomer."
When her friends launch into an extended game of Truth or Dare, Lia tells a lie about her summer just to keep up with them. Then she tells another lie. And another. Soon, it's hard to remember what's a lie and what isn't. Friendships are threatened, boys are getting kissed (or note), and Lia's wondering if there's anyone to confide in.
In this funny, touching coming-of-age story, Lia learns that it's possible to face the hardest truths--as long as you have the right people by your side.
