Liar & Spy by Rebecca Stead

I'll have to think on this one for a bit. Slow, steady and solid for the most part until the big 'twist', the fallout of which left me furious for Georges.
Safer also deserved better. I'm sick to death of 'quirky' parents whose faults are ignored just because they're not authoritarian or abusive. I just finished up Million Dollar Race and that has the same exact problem.
Considered dropping to 2 stars to make a point (still might actually once I write a more comprehensive breakdown), but ultimately felt the ending was decent enough to bump up.
