Ok. So, I have finished reading this book yesterday. I have started it the day BEFORE yesterday. Fun.
Pretty much, Lexi is best friends with her cousin, Eleni. But then, one day, she tells a lie - a whopper that could break all her family apart if she told anybody what she had done. But Lexi didn't mean anything bad, did she? - however, it's rather hard to believe.
This is a story about an enormous, inseparable Greek family, that laugh together and have picnics and live in the same suburb. One day, however, the big family all go out to meet another one, one that has just moved to North London from Cyprus.
The family has a little girl called Anastasia - a little girl who really wants to be friends with Eleni. And Lexi is jealous. Because, why, she and Eleni have been inseparable since birth!
When Lexi begins to lie to get out of scrapes and tries to stop Anastasia from interfering with her and Eleni's friendship, bad things start to happen. Yiayia dies, Dimitri's wedding is coming up, and the late grandmother had been found to not write a will.
Tradition is tradition, and that means that the holy necklase that has been passed through generations is to go to Lexi's mum, but Eleni tells the family that the night before her death, Yiayia had led them upstairs to show them to necklase. And that she has promised the necklase to Eleni.
And then, Lexi does a horrible thing - she tells a fib. And hides the necklase.
It's not a really good-quality storie, no, but I enjoyed the plot - so, 3.1/5 for you, my darling.
