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? 😉

Love the cover, it’s gorgeous and seems to go with the story pretty well. I love the idea of scamming other people for tuition money, I really hope the book goes into detail on how Julep does it…. Not because I’m planning on using her scammer skills but it’s nice to have it in the back of my mind.
The cover is very simple but sometimes isn’t simplicity the key? I would enjoy reading it at least.

LOL Yes, you do see her work through several scams. And there are some small details about forgery, though not enough to use as a step-by-step guide. 😉 Thanks for your interest! I hope you like the book!

Interesting blurb; scary looking cover
the cover is absolutely beautiful and I’ve been assured that Mary Elizabeth Summers has a very nice style of writing and is an amazing author.The concept is unique and great and even if I do not win I will still count the days to the release of this spectacular book because I’m sure it’ll be a thrill and to be compared with best sellers.
The coverart is interesting, not usually big on having real-life ppl on the cover but it seems fitting to this story. Love the private school setting, look forward to see what kind of situations Julep will get into.
