YMMV / Liar (2009)

• Les Yay: Between Micah and Sarah.
• Minority Show Ghetto: The original US book cover had the minority lead changed to be a white woman. This is depressingly common in the Young Adult category — with the minority ghetto sometimes passed around as an excuse for doing so. The author blogs about the change here. But there's a happy ending: After the issue got a significant amount of negative publicity, the publishers commissioned a new cover for the next print run that's basically the same as the old one but with an African-American model who looks like the book's actual protagonist.
• Tear Jerker: This quote:
  I've told you all the important moments between me and Zach. All the memories I go over again and again and again.
  I fear I will wear them out. Break them by thinking of them to long and too often. But maybe remembering them is what keeps them alive.
