Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here to spotlight the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they're books that have yet to be released. Find out more here.
This week I'm sharing a release that actually came out back in March (I thought it was going to be released next month). However, I've been a fan of this author's suspense/thrillers since her debut, Six Months Later, so I still wanted to share it for CWW. It's my pick this week...

Summary
In this taut new young adult thriller by Edgar Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Natalie D. Richards, high school junior Clara discovers a shocking truth about her best friend.
Lily has a dark side and deadly plan. And she's orchestrated every last detail to make Clara look guilty.
The first lie made Lily a savior. The second framed Clara for murder. If it weren't for Lily, Clara would still be a total outcast, shunned for her role in an incident that gave her a criminal record and ruined another girl's life. She's spent the past two years trying to escape that night, and ever since Lily Dalton befriended her, she's almost succeeded. After all, Lily's the golden girl of the high school―smart, popular, beloved by all―and as her best friend, Clara's now the bright, hard-working chemistry whiz.
But is Lily really just the good-hearted friend who saved Clara from the past? Because lately Lily has been talking about certain classmates and teachers―about wanting revenge. Do you ever think about making them pay? she asks. How would you do it? Lily has to be joking. At least that's what Clara thinks, until she finds a folder that outlines a deadly plan, including detailed steps and a list of targets in their school.
Shockingly, there's even more to Lily's plan, and it has everything to do with Clara. After all, everyone already knows what she did two years ago. Suddenly all the evidence has been turned against her, and there's no way she can prove her innocence. And the people on that list of targets? One after the next, they're meeting terrible fates, and Clara's looking guiltier by the second. It's up to Clara to find the truth and clear her name, before it's too late.
A harrowing thriller about lies and their devastating consequences, Two Perfect Lies cements Natalie D. Richards as a powerhouse of the psychological thriller genre and promises a riveting, unputdownable read.
