Mira remembers her best friend. So why does everyone else insist she left months ago?

When Mira wakes in the woods with blood on her hands and gaps in her memory, she knows something has gone terribly wrong. Her best friend, Jules Mercer, is missing. Yet at school, there is no alarm, no search, and no explanation that matches what Mira remembers.

An emptied locker, a disputed photograph, and a recovered voicemail draw her into a search that becomes increasingly difficult to explain, and dangerous to pursue. With help from a fellow student named Eli, Mira begins uncovering evidence that Jules’s disappearance was carefully arranged. As the people around her question her memories, she must decide whom to trust and how much she is willing to risk for the friend she refuses to forget.

In The Lie Between Us, Daisha Janjani weaves psychological suspense with the pain of betrayal and the fierce loyalty of friendship. At its heart is a girl determined to make the truth heard, even when others have already decided her story for her.
