Liar by Justine Larbalestier
Micah will freely admit that she’s a compulsive liar, but that may be the one honest thing she’ll ever tell you. Over the years she’s duped her classmates, her teachers, and even her parents, and she’s always managed to stay one step ahead of her lies. That is, until her boyfriend dies under brutal circumstances and her dishonesty begins to catch up with her. But is it possible to tell the truth when lying comes as naturally as breathing? Taking readers deep into the psyche of a young woman who will say just about anything to convince them—and herself—that she’s finally come clean, Liar is a bone-chilling thriller that will have readers see-sawing between truths and lies right up to the end. Honestly.
I didn't like this book half as much as I wanted to. It wasn't poorly written or really that confusing, I just walked away feeling very 'meh' about the whole story. I wanted to like Micah, or feel bad for her and I could never quite do it. I couldn't quite make the connection and with the plot frequently changing on the whim's of an unreliable narrator the ending didn't leave me feeling like this was a novel I'd want to read again any time soon.
I had this issue with How to Ditch Your Fairy as well.
EDIT 3/22/2011: Am rereading it now. It's much easier to digest and get into on the second read-through.
