A few white lies during a simple game of truth or dare spin out of control and make life very complicated for Lia in this "entertaining bibliotherapy" (Kirkus Reviews) from Barbara Dee.

When Lia returns after a summer with her eccentric aunt, it feels like everything has changed within her group of five friends. Everyone just seems more...dramatic. And after playing a game of Truth or Dare, Lia discovers how those divides are growing wider, and tells a few white lies about what really happened over the summer in order to "keep up." But is "keeping up" with her BFFs really worth it?
