Out of respect for the author and her characters, all I can say is that Micah is a compulsive liar and this is her story as she tells it. There are twists and turns and misconceptions and mixed up perceptions; though there is a beginning and an end, there is no clear pathway leading to or from either. Her story is both captivating and off-putting, depending on whether or not you can stomach the incredulity of the whole thing, and depending on what pieces of the story you choose to believe. Do you take Micah's story at face value, or how far can you stretch the lines in order to read between then?
Recommended to high school readers, particularly those looking for something different than what is already in the "to be read" pile.
