I really liked this book but was upset when her grandmother died. I was shocked when she stole the necklace and lied about it. But overall i am happy that she is friends with her cousin again.

This book is about a girl called Lexie who always liked to lie. Lexie always rights her lies in her diary. Lexie comes from a big Greek Cypriot family. I would recommend this book to someone else.

I learnt that you should never lie no matter what other people think about you. I liked Eleni

This book is really good. My favourite characters inside the book are Lexi and Eleni, even if they didnt get on very well for a short period of time. I would defintely reccomend this book to anyone who likes friendship books or family books.

Lexie is from a massive family. She has a lovely nature and is very easy to relate to. But then some family drama comes along...
