When Faiza's husband loses his job, she must conceal that she's spent the family's emergency savings trying to keep up with the Yummy Mummies of Wimbledon.

Would I Lie to You? Summary

Would I Lie to You? by Aliya Ali-Afzal

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.
