Que vivan los libros juveniles y de misterio 🥳
Este libro vino a salvar mi diciembre luego de pasar ✨meses sin poder terminar de leer nada.✨

Esta es la segunda parte de “Alguien está mintiendo” pero tenemos protagonistas diferentes. Poco más de un año después de los acontecimientos del primer libro, ocurren estos hechos donde una persona misteriosa empieza a acechar a estudiantes de Bayview con un “juego” de verdad o atrevimiento. Los que son seleccionados tienen 24h para elegir si prefieren un desafío o que se revele una verdad sobre ellos. 

Siento que la autora crea muy bien a los personajes, les da profundidad y les hace interesantes. Para mí, esta historia fue más allá del juego, yo quería saber qué onda con los demás detalles y que la autora puediera crear eso me parece super genial. 

Cuando se va descubriendo el misterio de quién está detrás de todo, medio me decepcioné porque esperaba más PERO no contaba con ese capítulo final y que la autora dejara a merced de mis pensamientos cómo se resuelve todo. Solo por este hecho, el libro subió en mi escala de favoritos del año. 📈

I’ve had this book in my TBR for over a year, I really enjoyed One of us is lying but I only read this one because I wanted to read the final book in the series
