Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Liar is a Young Adult novel by Justine Larbalestier, co-author of Team Human. It's about exactly what you'd expect: Micah, the protagonist, is a compulsive liar. Throughout the novel, she copes with the death of Zach, her boyfriend, and her rather strange family.And that's about all we can say spoiler-free. This book has an extremely huge twist halfway through, and it's hard to enjoy the book to its fullest potential if you know the twist ahead of time. In fact, Larbalestier herself kindly asked readers and reviewers not to spoil the book. To comply with this, you're warned: very large amounts of the text below will be hidden by spoiler tags, and opening them before reading the book will greatly change your perception of the book and could ruin the experience entirely.Other books titled Liar can be found here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Annoying Younger Sibling: Jordan. Even when Micah reveals to the reader that he's dead, she still seems to hate him.

Artistic License – Biology: Possibly done, if Micah's theory about werewolves originating from horizontal gene transfer is true. It's averted other than that, though, with everything said about the bodies, sizes, and hunting patterns of wolves being true.

Anachronic Order: The story switches between before and after Zach's death, and it takes some breaks to tell about Micah's personal history, her family's history, information about werewolves, and Micah's lies to the reader.

Believing Their Own Lies: Discussed: Possibly played straight at the end, with Micah claiming over and over that she didn't kill Zach.
