π±5 students in detention, 1 of them dies in a mysterious way, the remaining 4 are suspects and everyone has a motive to kill.
π±'One Of Us Is Lying' is a young adult murder mystery that'll confuse you and make you suspect each and every character at some point.
π±Honestly, the plot was really good and the characters were well developed & written but the story started to feel a little boring halfway through the book.
π±I was expecting a mind blowing plot twist by the end but it was actually a little underwhelming for me which kind of makes it similar to Lisa Jewell's Invisible Girl.
π±I don't really feel excited for the next book in this series as there was no cliffhanger. So there's nothing that makes me eager to continue this series, but i would like to know what the next book is about.
π±Overall it was a descent thriller. Would only recommend this to the readers who are new to the genre or new to reading fiction in general.
