Londoner Lexie and her cousin Eleni have always been inseparable--until sneaky new-girl Anastasia sets her sights on Eleni and the sudden loss of their grandmother corners Lexie into telling a lie that divides her close-knit Greek Cypriot family. Told in Lexie's bouncy, naive first-person voice and peppered with her doodles and notebook pages, the story explores the vulnerability that comes with experiences of envy, loss, and guilt.
