Little Liar by Julia Gray
Nora decides to teach him a lesson he wont forget. Bel is unpredictable, jealous and crazy, but she opens up a new world for Nora, and that makes her irresistible. As events start to spin wildly out of control, Nora must decide where her loyalties lie and what deceits she can get away with.
