Omg, I just looved this book 😍😍😍
I also liked "one of us is lying" a lot and I was scared that the 2nd part would be worse, but it absolutely wasn't. 
A really big part of the story was the personal life of the narrators and in the first half the crime-aspect was more in the background. I didn't mind that,  though that was something that I didn't expect. And I also have to say that that part was very gripping and absolutely not boring.
Then more or less at 50% of the book the murder happens and from that part on, the crime-aspect was more the main part of the story. Then the book got so tense 😨😨😨
And then the plot-twists were such a surprise 😱 And the last pages... 😨😨😨 I would have never expected that 😱
Now comes a little spoiler for the romance in the book
I also really liked, that there were 2 romance stories,  but those could have been a little  more present.

That there are now new narrators was at the beginning a little weird (mainly because of Knox and Phoebe, because I didn't know them πŸ˜…), but when I got to know them, I really really loved them 😍 I also loved, that the old narrators were still side-characters and that you learn, how Bronwyn and Nate's story continued 😍😍😍
I was also so happy for Addy, that she got to know someone ☺πŸ₯°

I can't wait to read the 3rd book and I have to pre-order it right now

This book was soooooo good, this book has such good foreshadowing which is so easily over-looked. The ending has me stunned and I can’t even begin to process what just happened!

While I enjoyed the book and didn't really see the ending coming, I didn't think it was as good as the first book in the series.

I know alot of people don't like this but I feel like Maeve and Jenae should be together although
Maeve and Luis are really cute and so are Bronwyn and Nate as always
it is a really good read and if you love one of us is lying you should definitely read this.
