I personally have not read the whole book but from what I can tell the Title winter girls refers to the two main characters Lia and Cassie who both have eating disorders and one end up dying from the disease competing against each other they let this overcome one another I think Winter girls relate to the whole idea that these two girls have this secret and no one knows how alone and cold the pain this disease is bring to them which eventually leads to death. There is a quote the author uses that kind of explains the title more it is you are not dead but you are not alive you’re a winter girl…..it’s like this is what the author thinks young women who also battle with the same thing are symbolic to. Blinded by the competitive dysfunctional desire it leads to real death not only is this hard but its sick it is truly something young women should be aware of!

review of the book
The book Liar was not particular my favorite book as far as its content t did have a unique stlye of writing and the concept was good as well it was to me a different style of writing that I was not use to I do give the author her props because it was a page turner only because you wanted to know if the main character Micah was actually telling the truth and the book tricks you to believe that she is telling the truth but in the end she is just a teenage girl who is a patilogical liar ad can not help herself from lying about things and events in her life although we know that there is no such thing as a werewolf, Micah actually reveals to the readers that she is not only a wolf but that she changes over time back and forth when she come on or around the time of her menstral cycle.I sort of have mixed feelings about this book in the sense that someone else might enjoy it, I would recommend the book to those who like to read and enjoy unique styles of writiing. My personal choice I would not suggest it randomly to someone because I could not get into the book it was just to difficult with the jumping back and forth and kind of ridulous once you get past the climax of the story when she starts to reveal the lies. I would have rather the author just told the story in a more traditonal stlye of writing then to jump back in forth i didnt like that part about the book overall it was ok just not something I'd read again.
