One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
3.0
3.5 stars —- possible spoilers?
I found myself enjoying this book for the most part the whole way through— it was shaping up to be a four/five star but I was pretty dissatisfied with the ending I won’t lie.
While this book def had highlights (Nate and Bronwyn, Addy’s character growth, Nate’s character as a whole) it definitely had some misfires (slut shamming, using a characters sexuality as a bigger twist than the actual main reveal, violent end). It levels out to be a mid ranking that I might recommend to someone if they express an interest in similar books but wouldn’t go out of my way to suggest.
