The writer keeps the murderer a mystery until around the end, with several twists and turns. Loved reading it all the way.

The book was mediocre, not amazing but not bad either

3.5 stars - a good little fantasy palette cleanser. Felt very Pretty Little Liars to me. A bit YA but overall an enjoyable read.

One of Us is Lying kept me interested. I really wanted to figure out what was going on and I liked the characters and the relationships, especially Bronwyn and Nate. But, I didn't like the turn the story took in terms of the mystery.
SpoilerI felt it glorified suicide and mass shootings.

I didn’t expect to be as absorbed into this, especially given that I read a full book yesterday but it was one I couldn’t put down. It had a nice mix of surprise elements and parts you could guess (to make me feel dead smart lmao)
