The boy who broke her heart is suddenly living under her roof. And he's pretending they've never met.
Elena never expected an Italian summer to change her life.
Then she met Antonio.
What began as a summer romance quickly became something neither of them expected. They lied to each other about everything, including their names, their pasts, and the lives waiting for them after the summer.
Months later, three American exchange students move into Elena's family home in Prague.
One of them is the boy who broke her heart.
Only now he calls himself Michael.
While everyone around her seems charmed by him, Elena knows something isn't right. She's certain he's hiding something, and she's determined to uncover the truth.
But the more she learns, the more complicated everything becomes.
Old feelings refuse to disappear. Secrets begin to surface. And Elena realizes that he's hiding far more than a new name.
Set between Italy and Prague, The Lies We Carry is an emotionally charged YA romantic mystery filled with first love, hidden identities, forced proximity, family secrets, and unforgettable summers.
Why is he pretending?
The Lies We Carry is the first book in The Sea of Salty Memories series.
