lindsaynixon 's review for:
One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus
4.5 stars.
If you loved 13 Reasons Why (the book) and wish you could have that again: read this book. (I also agree with the description that it's Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars.)
If you read a ton of 'who is the killer' novels you'll figure out who it is pretty quickly (hence the 4.5 stars) but most readers will be surprised because it's very original!
Each of the main characters lso goes through a personal metamorphosis while figuring out what happened, which is beautiful. That "coming of age" aspect that happens along with the main plot is what keeps bringing me back to YA.
The audible was also terrific--I love when books do different voices for each of the main characters or narrators.
SUMMARY: 5 high school cliche's are in detention (nerd girl, jock, bad boy, prom queen, outcast) when the outcast suddenly drops dead. The police determined he was poisoned and the other 4 are suspects...and suspecting each other... and everyone has a secret that could have been motive to kill.
