Brynn is a high school student who pitches an idea for a story about the murder of her teacher in order to get an internship. 

Brynn’s teacher, Mr. Larkin, was murdered ten years ago. One of the students who found him, Trip, used to be Brynn’s best friend, until shortly before Mr. Larkin’s murder. 

The story is told by both Brynn and Trip. It was nice to see the story from both perspectives but I didn’t feel like Trip added a lot. 

I get that we’re supposed to be led all over with the characters before the big reveal, but some major plot points seemed anti-climatic (Ex, revealing who is Mr. Larkin’s half-brother). It just seemed a bit rushed at the end and we didn’t even get a real ending. I get Brynn has her theory, but she’s hasn’t really been right all that often so that doesn’t tie it up for me.


Otherwise, I enjoy this author’s writing and would read another book she writes. I just don’t feel like it is quite as good as One of Us Is Lying.
