Today we’re celebrating the cover for TRUST ME, I’M LYING by Mary Elizabeth Summer, releasing October 14, 2014 from Delacorte Press. Before we get to the cover, here’s a message from Mary Elizabeth:
Felicitations, YABCers!
It’s been a crazy amazing holiday season for this grateful author. So much so that I simply must cap it off with an authorial pyrotechnics show of epic proportions.
When I first saw the cover art for my debut YA suspense TRUST ME, I’M LYING, I fell out of my chair (which was actually kind of embarrassing since I was at work). It will no doubt have a similar effect on you, since it is a grab-you-by-the-eyeballs-and-not-let-go kind of cover! I couldn’t ask for a more fitting front to my con-artist confession story. And I must lay all adoration, glory, and homage at the feet of the phenomenal photographer Carrie Schechter, as well as the visionary creationators in the Delacorte art department, specifically Heather Daugherty, the best designer a slightly evil teenage fixer could hope for.
So without further commentary from the peanut gallery, I leave you with a firecracker of a cover. Boom.
~ Mary Elizabeth Summer (TRUST ME, I’M LYING, Delacorte Press)

TRUST ME, I’M LYING
About the book
Julep Dupree is good at telling lies. She has to be if she wants to stay at St. Agatha’s, the swanky private school where she runs petty scams that earn her tuition money. Luckily, deception is just part of the family business.
But when Julep comes home to a ransacked apartment and her con artist father missing, things get serious fast. Tyler Richland, a senior with a hotness factor approaching solar levels, offers his help, and suddenly Julep’s life gets even messier. She has to follow a trail of clues through a maze of creepy stalkers, hit attempts, and family secrets. Julep is in way over her head . . . but that’s not going to stop her from using every trick in the book to find her dad before his mark finds her. Because that would be criminal.
Our Thoughts
Two words: BAD. ASS.
Also, I want her pistol necklace. Delacorte art department, can I haz? 😉

At first glance, the cover looked really mysterious. I really like the contrast within the two pictures, like the two sides of her. The book sounds really interesting!
The first time I tried to post this as a reply, it put it at the end of the comments. Trying again to see if I can get it to thread properly!

The cover is both badass and gorgeous! When I saw this cover, I was immediately like, “Sold, SOLD.” It tells exactly what kind of person the main character is, having two faces -one being dark and badass, the other being bright and have the ‘girl-next-door’ look, a con artist. They story seems very intriguing too, I cannot wait to read this book!
The cover looks absolutely amazing. It’s so cool… I’m very curious about this book 😉
Thanks for the giveaway ^_^

It’s so cool to finally see the cover! I love how it’s divided in two, and how even her lipstick changes! 🙂 The synopsis is amazing, it makes me even more excited to read it.
Such a pretty cover! Just the cover alone makes me want to read it, and the blurb reminds me of HEIST SOCIETY or A.K.A. (both of which I loved) – I can’t wait to read it!!
