I honestly didn't mind the turn to supernatural, and there were a few clues prior to that point where I figured it would go in that direction. So i got this book after going to ALA With bbya, and it was the first book that I read because the woman who gave it to me made it sound AMAZING. One such secret, around which much of the mystery of this book is centered, is that she was involved with Zach, one of the popular boys in her school and he goes missing, then is later found dead.

Liar, Liar by Lisa Jackson | Goodreads Liar, Liar by Lisa Jackson | Goodreads

I can't imagine how devastated and guilty the mother must feel, and I wouldn't be surprised if the father secretly blames her too - but these boys hadn't discovered empathy yet and just found it funny). I've just browsed through the other Goodreads reviews here and disagreed with the conclusions reached by at least half of those marked as spoilers. There's a passage later on the book where Micah describes " how dark it is" in an unknown place with no windows before continuing on with her story. Part three is “The Actual Truth” where Micah confesses about what she had or didn’t have with Zach and why he may have died. I think there are people who will certainly love or at least appreciate the dark, enticing twists and turns of this young woman's tale.Puberty, growing up, having everyone change and behave more maliciously, learning how to run the gamut and take it on the chin - or not. And while we know that Micah is a liar who's trying to tell the truth, you never find out what's the truth and what's a lie. By the end of Liar, I wasn't sure I was anywhere closer to knowing The Truth of Micah and her tale than I was at the beginning.

Liar by Lesley Pearse | Goodreads

See, in Agatha Christie's book the first person narrator goes on and on about an assassination, pointing fingers at different people only to in the end confess that the murderer had been himself. But it is interesting to note how the boy doesn't know how old he is, where he came from and who his parents are. For me, I followed it for the journey, and the big revelation that came about halfway into the novel - I didn't really take it as a jarring thing (then again, I wasn't thrown that much in other novels where the tone shifts into the supernatural in some measures). It proposes that some of our most cherished institutions are versions of those same well-worn cons and challenges the classic notion of the “sucker”.Our world is built and sustained on empires of information; lies, truth, perception, opinion, some useful, some damaging, some inspiring, some manipulating; how can we understand which is which, and what is real and for what purpose we’re being presented with them? I disagree with almost all of her conclusions about the bigger why s, but Konnikova operates on a whole different level; her mind is a machine. What I learned: Strong writing, impressive setting, and an intriguing premise will get someone to read your book.

Liar by K.L. Slater | Goodreads

It's really the kind of story that gives you enough to connect dots, but not enough to see the entire picture. I liked, it, but I was kind of sad that it was just another author writing about the same thing every other teen author has written about. Almost like she's holding on to her lies for dear life; letting them spin out of control so she can be engulfed by them. Even after unraveling the mystery and navigating the crazy twist (I avoided spoilers to I could really enjoy the story, and it was definitely an interesting twist), I still felt a disconnect.Because Micah is too proud to ever tell the actual truth at the end of the book, the plot comes crashing down on the entire novel. She's also a liar – whether pathological to the point where she believes her own lies or merely compulsive, it remains unclear to the very end. The 'Liar' for whom the book is named, is Micah, a seventeen year old girl(maybe) who looks a lot like a boy. Of course, even if you do like puzzling, unresolved narratives and unreliable narrators, none of this will work if you don't like Micah herself. 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.
