Trust Me, I'm Lying

Promises are supposed to mean something. For sixteen-year-old Echoed, they don't. After a lifetime of broken words and empty vows, he's learned the hard way that trust is a luxury he can't afford. When his mother's crushing debt to a dangerous man makes him collateral, Echoed does the only thing he knows-he runs.
As the stakes rise and secrets unravel, Echoed must confront the one thing he's spent years avoiding-the possibility that someone might actually keep their word. But in a world built on lies, survival means deciding who to trust... and who will destroy you.
A raw and gripping story about survival, betrayal, and the cost of believing again, Trust Me I'm Lying is perfect for readers who crave emotionally charged, high-stakes fiction with a vulnerable yet defiant protagonist.
