4 to 4.5 StarsEvery time I walk into the living room my wife is watching Pretty Little Liars or Revenge or Riverdale or Veronica Mars or . . . well, you get the idea. Sometimes I watch a bit with her. As I started this book I immediately thought “this book will be perfect for her – it’s the same type of thing”!So, if you like those shows, books like those shows, books those shows are based on, etc., then this is the book for you. While not the most complex mystery I have read, it is quite a bit
Five kids, one room, one mysterious death and endless possibilities. ((dun dun dunnnn))One of Us Is Lying is the classic set-up for one of my favorite Mystery subgenres: the locked-room.I love Locked-Room Mysteries on a level that borders on the unhealthy. We're talking next level obsessed. I will pick up any that come my way! They're so nostalgic for me, bringing back memories of family games of Clue, watching Murder, She Wrote with my Mom and binge-reading Agatha Christie books while on summer...
”Six hours and five minutes from then we were heading to detention. An hour later, he died.Seventeen years, gone just like that.”Six people A detention roomA cup of water1 teacher5 students4 students1 dead bodyThis is the recipe this book was made of and since I enjoyed solving the murder mystery I decided that I won’t go into detail all too much. This is the kind of book in which you get four POVs and have as much information as the characters that talk about the happenings. You have to guess w...
It sounds like the Breakfast Club with five teenagers, all from different groups, stuck together in detention. Yet things are off from the start, all of the kids claim that the cellphones that landed them there didn't belong to them. When one of them suddenly collapses from an anaphylactic attack, things get even stranger. Now Simon, the boy who had that anaphylactic attack, is dead and everyone in the room is a suspect when the tox screen comes back and it becomes clear that someone purposefull...
I feel like one of maybe four people in the world who just... really did not enjoy this book? I've been putting off this review for weeks because I just don't know where to start. I have so many friends who raved about this book to me, so I was so disappointed by it. These are only my opinions, and I would never dream of disrespecting anyone who disagrees with my review, so please show the same courtesy and don't hate me for what I'm about to say. ❤→ what i liked ←This is a very quick read; if I...
Content warning: Harmful representation of sexuality and mental illness.This book was such a disappointment because I was REALLY enjoying it up until the last 3rd or so. I seriously thought this would be a 4 or 5 star read. However, upon finishing, I strongly believe that this book should not have been published as is. It's ignorant and damaging.Aside from the parts that I found harmful, the writing was very trope heavy and relied on too many stereotypes for character development. I didn't think...
I'd give this 4.5 stars.If One of Us Is Lying was a television series, I would binge-watch it wholeheartedly. It's been a while since I've gotten so into a book I've devoured the majority of it in one sitting when I haven't been on a plane. This hooked me completely, and I'm surprised how much I liked it.Five students have detention one afternoon. There's Cooper, the golden boy and star baseball player trying to decide between college and the major leagues; Bronwyn, the class valedictorian w...
