letto in inglese.
che bello, forse non un esempio della 'letteratura', ma davvero travolgente e anche a tratti inaspettato. ci sono molti clichè della generazione americana durante gli anni di high school, ma altrettanti vengono ribaltati e superati. è un giallo giovane, leggero ma che ti porta a pensare come i personaggi, a cercare di capire chi di loro possa essere un assassino, e ben presto ci si rende conto che nessuno lo può essere stato. Se da una parte il lettore ha questa consapevolezza, dall'altra risulta quasi impossibile trovare un reale colpevole, come in ogni giallo che si rispetti, fino al momento in cui, verso la fine, finalmente ci si arriva, prima o con i personaggi. non è un libro rivoluzionario o memorabile, ma lo definirei innovativo e caldamente piacevole. anche l'inglese è molto semplice, sicuramente molto colloquiale e poco letterario, ma credo che per una storia del genere non potesse essere altro che così! bella scoperta!

Nice little cliche high school murder drama. Interesting characters but a bit over the top in the storyline at times, some things were just impossible or not realistic enough. Still, quite enjoyable.

This novel reminded me of a Netflix series that I would likely spend an entire weekend binge-watching. It was an engaging and quick read with a few twists and turns I didn't see coming.
First Read: July 2018
This book was so good!! The characters, the plot, the relationships, everything was so well done!
The mystery in this book was amazing and I spent the whole time theorising and wanting to reach the end to find out the truth.
While I loved the plot of this book, the characters were definitely the best part. At first, four perspectives in first person was a nightmare as I kept forgetting who I was reading about but I actually really enjoyed each of the character’s sections so it didn’t annoy me. The development they go through in this book, especially Addy, is amazing and was a pleasure to read.
And of course, THE SHIP. I loved them together and I’m so happy everything worked out in the end!
Second Read: January 2020
I loved this just as much as I did the first time! It’s one of my favourites, and the characters mean a lot to me. Karen McManus is a genius and I would read anything she writes!I’m so excited for One of Us is Next, I can’t even contain it.

I really loved this book, the characters and secrets were interesting.
The only thing that annoyed/disappointed me was the ending, it was a worthy read though.
