Fifteen -year-old Mae has only vague memories of life before her dad, an internationally famous psychiatrist, set up Hummingbird Creek. To Mae the strict timetable, stringent exercise routine and perfectly balanced organic diet are normal. The Creek's patients – teens with psychological problems – might find it unnerving to be trapped in the middle of nowhere with no mobile phone or internet but Mae thinks she's lucky. Or she does until a chance incident reveals her parents have been lying about her mum's family. Mae starts to wonder what else they might have lied about. Soon Mae is questioning everything she's been told about Hummingbird Creek with dangerous, and potentially deadly, consequences.
Sue Wallman's debut novel, [[Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman|Lying About Last Summer]], was my favourite book of 2016 (I'd have given it 6 stars if I could) and was subsequently selected to join Zoella's Autumn Book Club. I was, therefore, slightly concerned that ''See How They Lie'' would be a let-down. I needn't have worried. I didn't just live up to my expectations, it massively exceeded them. In a feat that I didn't think was possible, ''See How They Lie'' is actually even better: can I, perhaps, invent a new 7 star rating?
