Liar 1

The book is called “Liar” and it relates to its title very well. In the beginning of the book Micah warns us that she is a compulsive liar. She tells us that lying has gotten into that situation she is in now with her boyfriend’s murder. Micah also believes that this lying condition of her is inheritable. She says that she got it from her father. She makes everyone in her class believe that she is a boy because the teacher had mistaken her for one. She is the new kid in school so no one knows exactly who she is. Micah has short hair cut down against her head and she wears no makeup. One thing that I dislike about the story is that you never really know if she is telling the truth or not so it makes you want to keep reading. On one of the first pages of the book she makes a promise that she will not lie anymore and that she is there to confess what she has done.
