Well, this book was a bit unexpected. I first knew about the book from the white-washed cover image controversy a few years ago. I remember reading that it was a good book aside from that. And that the narrator was very unreliable. Boy howdy. Micah is the eponymous liar of the story. Throughout the story we never know how much of what she's telling us is true or not true. There are some "revelations" in the middle of the book that I personally thought made a lot of sense, given what was happening in the story. But with a narrator as unreliable as this one, who knows if what she's saying is true or not? I don't really like stories with unreliable narrators that much, but this one was ok. This misfit child is trying to find a way to live, to fit in SOMEHOW. Maybe it was all confabulation on her part, but it made sense to me in a twisted sort of way. I understand why this book is problematic for a lot of people. I thought it was well-written and interesting. YMMV.
It was going so well... and then she mentioned werewolves and it went all downhill
