The Best and Worst of Covers (9)

Every Saturday, I post one book cover I love and one cover I dislike of books I've read. I include information for each book: the edition, summary, publisher, number of pages, reading level, and my thoughts of the cover. This week the cover I love is Liar by Justine Larbalestier, and the cover I dislike is nothing haha. I didn't not like any covers, so it I will only have a cover I like : ) The book summary is from Amazon.

The Cover I Love: 
Title: Liar
Author: Justine Larbalestier

Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children's Books
Publication Date: September 29, 2009
Page
s: 384
Edition: Hardback
Reading Level: Young Adult


Summary:
Micah will freely admit that she’s a compulsive liar, but that may be the one honest thing she’ll ever tell you. Over the years she’s duped her classmates, her teachers, and even her parents, and she’s always managed to stay one step ahead of her lies. That is, until her boyfriend dies under brutal circumstances and her dishonesty begins to catch up with her. But is it possible to tell the truth when lying comes as naturally as breathing? Taking readers deep into the psyche of a young woman who will say just about anything to convince them—and herself—that she’s finally come clean, Liar is a bone-chilling thriller that will have readers see-sawing between truths and lies right up to the end. Honestly.

Thoughts of the Cover:
The cover of Liar is fantastic and goes so well with the crazy story. I love how her mouth is covered like she's trying not to lie. It's very messed up that the ARC cover has a white female when the main character is black. I'm so glad the cover it was changed to the amazing cover it has now. It's very cool to think we have a say in those kinds of things because it was all the controversy that made the publishers change the cover. Anyways I love the bright green because it goes well with what she is wearing. The title is nice, big, and bold too!

What are your thoughts on this cover?
