SAN FRANCISCO BOOK FESTIVAL NAMES THRILLER THE LIES I
TELL FOR TOP HONORS
SAN FRANCISCO_The 2022 San Francisco Book Festival has named the novel
The Lies I Tell as the winner of its annual competition honoring the best books
of the spring.
Julie Clarks The Lies I Tell (Sourcebooks) is the story of a con artist
who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be. A college student. A
life coach. A real estate agent. But nothing about her is real. By the time
she's done, you've likely lost everything. Kat Roberts has been waiting ten
years for the woman who upended her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is
determined to be the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's
long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who Meg's true
target is.
The page-turning thriller dives deep into the psyches and motivations of two
women and their unwavering quest to seek justice for the past and rewrite the
future.
