Truth hard to find in Liar Posted October 29 2009
Micah Wilkins has been telling lies her whole life. From pretending to be a boy in freshman year, to claiming to be a hermaphrodite, to convincing her friends that her father is an arms dealer, sometimes Micah doesn't know where the lies end and the truth begins. But that doesn't make her any less believable. After her boyfriend, Zach Rubin, is brutally killed, Micah vows to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The book alternates between different story lines that read like threads being woven together. Zach's death acts as a marker; Micah separates her stories into Before and After. But each part discredits the part before as more and more lies are revealed. The reader begins to question what Micah is: Is she really a resentful, misunderstood werewolf with a penchant for attention, or a ruthless killer who will say anything to keep from admitting the truth—even to herself? —Amanda Mesa, American Heritage |
