The main character in the book Liar by Justine Larbalestier is a compulsive liar named Micah. She has always been able to get away with her lies and cover her tracks. This changes when she becomes a suspect in her boyfriend's brutal murder. Micah often lies to other characters in the book. She is rarely truthful to anyone, even those she is closest to. Occasionally she becomes hostile to anyone who tries to expose her lies. Throughout the book her lies become harder and harder to follow. She realizes she has a problem and tries unravel her own lies in an attempt to clear her name even if coming forward with the truth may mean losing the people she cares about most. This helps develop the theme because it shows that your lies can catch up with you and the consequences of those lies can be worse than you thought. This helps advance the plot because as she unravels her lies she is uncovering what could lead her to who really killed her boyfriend.
