Liar by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen
4.0

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this book - it's a 3.5 rounded up for me.

First off though, I thought the writing was exquisite. I loved it. The tone was lovely and so engaging.

But for some reason it took me over two weeks to get through and it's less than 300 pages. What is with that?

The story is about a young 17 year old girl who cries rape, and it's nowhere near as frivolous as the cover suggests.

I enjoyed this book because the detail and imagery around Nofars lies and the consequences of them were wonderful. I fully felt her stress. I understood why she allowed the lie to carry her.

Definitely worth a read.
