The Girl Who Couldn't Lie Summary

The Girl Who Couldn't Lie by Radhika Sanghani

A fresh, funny story about white lies, brutal honesty and a bangle with special powers, from award-winning journalist and author Radhika Sanghani.

Priya Shah lies. A lot. She pretends everything in her life is perfect, so she doesn't disappoint anyone.

But when she puts on a bangle left to her by her Ba - the one person she was always honest with - she finds herself unable to tell a lie.

Priya is mortified. She tells her dad she hates his cooking, she tells Dan Zhang about her huge crush on him, she shares her best friends' secrets at school. She can't get the bangle off, and she can't stop the truths pouring out of her.

As more things go wrong, and Priya's truth-telling spirals out of control, can Priya learn to be honest without hurting the people she loves?

The Girl Who Couldn't Lie Reviews

The Girl Who Couldn't Lie is sweet and funny and full of heart. * The i *

A gem of a book!
A thoroughly engaging story with a super cast of diverse characters that modern young teens will be able to relate to, and which will empower them to own and speak their own truths.
I particularly loved the representation of different cultures, the exploration of how freeing honesty can be, and the message that when someone you love dies, their spirit can live on in your heart.

* Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G. *
I can't lie! I loved it! It was as if Ms Marvel met Liar Liar. * Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths *
I loved The Girl Who Couldn't Lie. It's a story that's so full of heart. Priya is totally relatable and her experience of learning how to be open and honest about her life and her struggles is one that so many young readers will be able to empathise with. The characters, friendships, crushes and family dynamics are so beautifully handled - they are absolutely believable and make you want to keep reading and keep on rooting for Priya all the way. * Sarah Hagger-Holt, author of The Fights That Make Us *
This is such a gorgeous book! It's full of so many funny moments that young people will relate to. I loved it! * Kimberly Whittam, author of Quiet Storm *
