She could lose the perfect life... if she tells the truth. At the school gates in Wimbledon Village, Faiza fits in. It took a few years and a brand new wardrobe, but now the snobbish mothers who mistook her for the nanny treat her as one of their own. But the perfect life costs money. When her husband Tom loses his job, Faiza realises she'll have to reveal her biggest secret: she's spent her family's entire life savings. Unless she doesn't... It only takes a second to lie to Tom. Now Faiza has six weeks to find GBP75,000 or risk losing the family she has worked so hard to protect. Readers and reviewers are loving Would I Lie to You?

A page-turning, warm-hearted and funny debut novel about Faiza, a glossy banker's wife who must hide the fact she's spent the family's savings when her husband, Tom, loses his job. Faiza has always wanted to fit in. With her banker husband, three beautiful children and gorgeous house in a sought-after corner of London, she's done pretty well at transforming herself into the kind of glamour-puss who mixes with the Yummy Mummies of Wimbledon. But behind the expensive clothes, make-up and furniture lies a big secret. Faiza has been dipping into the family savings account in her attempt to belong, promising herself that one day she'll put the money back. Then, at her first Botox appointment, she gets a call from her husband saying he's lost his job. Now Faiza has six weeks to put it all back before her husband or her friends notice she is penniless. And as the clock ticks down, a different Faiza emerges: one who will learn things about her family, her identity, her hopes and desires that she never knew before.
