Lovable Liars
Requirements:
The Mc(s) is a tricksters or unreliable narrator who spends most of the book lying to, bluffing or otherwise misleading others or themselves.
They would continue lying even if they didnโt have to either they canโt help it or enjoy the game too much.
This causes situations that get unpredictable, chaotic or even completely ridiculous as the characters dodge or face consequences for their actions.

Books with priests and other related clergy members! I'm trying to spotlight characters where their belief is explored in interesting ways (sexuality, culture, complicated relationships with faith). If you've got suggestions (especially for queer characters) I'd love to hear them!
