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!

These are quick murder mysteries to read with my teens. They discuss toxic relationships and how secrets can mess with friendships. The cons are this one glossed over some intense issues.
