Cher Hayes is a prodigal Harvard student. Her social media feed shows it all: designer clothes, affluent family, picturesque life.
Except... it's all fake.
Her real name is Chernet Fisaha, and Chernet is a hustler. She insinuates herself into Harvard's social elite, wins a millionaire’s son to shower her with gifts, steals from the pockets of rich kids—and if asked, she'll say it's for the thrill. In reality, her targets have been carefully chosen, and her actions are personal: vengeance for the tragic death of her brilliant younger sister who’d grinded herself to the bone, only to get rejected in favor of the nepo-kids who've been set up for success from birth. Chernet will not let her be forgotten. She'll walk right through the university's gates, hustle these rich kids for everything they own, and drag the whole corrupt institution into the harsh light of day as she leaves, pockets full.
Fast-paced, seductive and timely, Too Pretty To Lie is a revenge novel that applies its cutting edge to contemporary society—as much a critique of our modern-day institutions as it is about the seductive pull of money and power. For as Chernet plunges deeper into this elite Ivy world, that world begins to accept her, and her own intentions begin to blur. She will have to decide what and whom she is willing to sacrifice to pull off her con—if she even wants to anymore.
