One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
5.0
Such an addictive reading! I loved every page of it: the mystery, the drama and the characters.
The mystery around Simon's death was interesting, but what got me really hocked were the characters. They all start as you typical clichés — an overachiever, a jock, a prom queen and a criminal — but their development, their POVs and thoughts give them life, a deepness and realness that made me love the Bayview Four and care deeply for them.
I enjoyed the fact that not everyone is without fault in this story, that everything is not as black and white as it seems and that some characters, although flawed or fragile, really develop and grow up.
