i loved this book! i kept thinking about it and just couldn't put it down. it really does keep you guessing, wondering what Micah's lying about and what she isn't. very intriguing.

Reading the plot, knowing Micah is a liar, and that her boyfriend is dead all through out the book your wondering if she's telling the truth. Has she fooled you into one of her lies? Did she kill her boyfriend? All through the book you're literally on the edge of your seat trying to find out what she is really trying to tell you. I liked that aspect of the book. BUT. In the second part she tells you her "secret". I was just kinda like "Oh, god no." the secret just... ruined the whole book!

Fun book about a girl who lies constantly. Her little lies, sprinkled throughout the first half of the book, lead up to the big lie that covers up the family illness. The second half of the book deals with the family illness and her response to it. Lots of plot twists and turns kept me turning the pages, and the characters were just great. Some mature themes, scenes and language, but I'm going to booktalk it to middle schoolers anyway.

It was a very interesting book. The whole time you were wondering what really happened and whether she was telling the truth or not.

This book was very interesting because of the author keeping you on your toes on whether or not Micha was telling the truth or not. I'm usually not into the whole warewolve things but this wasnt a bad read at all.

Amazing style of writing! i loved reading this book because of the unique way it was written. I kinda started to doubt most of the story parts because i wasn't sure if it was the truth or not. Good read over all. definetly recommended.

This was a really unique and interesting way of telling a story... by the end I still have no clue which parts of the story were true and which weren't. The plot changed halfway through the book; it completely surprised me! Perfect last line as well. Loved it!

I'm thinking about how much stronger I am than Brandon. I doubt he realizes that. Boys never do. He should be scared of me. Because I _really_ don't like him and I'll hurt him if I have to.

Our apartment 's so small that we always pretend we can't hear the things we're not supposed to. It's a good rule.

If you've got a big secret it's best to paper it over with lots of little ones.

Is it any surprise that I turned out the way I did, with so many family lies? I'm at least a third-generation liar. Though I bet it goes back earlier.

I tried not to laugh. He'd never said stuff like that before: "Young man," "Wipe that smile off." It was like he was quoting from a ye olden days handbook of angry parenting.

I am often in trouble. Mostly for things I have not done. I can't expect to be believed. I am the girl who cried wolf.
