About the Book

Rebecca and Nikki become unexpected friends as they navigate their grief and personal struggles, but their friendship began with a lie that threatens to ruin everything.

Book Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Nikki Davis has been lying most of her life, pretending to fit into her friends' world of designer clothes and country club parties. When her mother loses her job and they move into a rundown apartment, Nikki tries to cover things up with increasingly desperate lies.

Rebecca Weiss has her own problems. Her bat mitzvah is just months away, and she's totally unprepared. She doesn't have time for a new person in her life--especially someone who might be deceiving her.

When Nikki and Rebecca's worlds collide, an unlikely friendship forms. But can a friendship built on secrets and lies survive? And when the truth finally comes out, will Nikki have the courage to make things right? Can Rebecca ever forgive her?

Funny, fast-paced, and heartfelt, Rules for Liars is about making mistakes, asking for second chances, and discovering the truth is worth telling.
