Sara Shepard’s new Lying Game novella: The First Lie takes readers back in time, before Emma came to Arizona—back when Sutton was really Sutton, and she had a secret romance with Mad’s brother, Thayer.

In honor of the fact that The First Lie is now available, and in anticipation of all new episodes of The Lying Game starting January 8^th at 9/8c, Sara sat down with Alexandra Chando to chat about telling lies, dating dangerous boys, and being Sutton Mercer.
