The Girl Who Couldn’t Lie
General, Our Favourites“Sweet and funny and full of heart.” The iA 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?

Nika –
Such a lovely, warm hug of a book!
Priya Shah is used to lying – a lot! She lies to keep her family’s secrets, to not hurt other people’s feelings and to save herself from embarrassment. The one day she manages to put her late grandma’s bangle on her wrist, and everything changes. It becomes impossible for Priya to tell a lie. She admits all kinds of truths to everyone, including her teachers, but a weird thing happened – because of the truth, things are starting to get better instead of worse. But there are certain truths that should have been handled more carefully …
I enjoyed every minute of reading this book about friendship and standing up for yourself, and I can guarantee that everyone else will as well.
