One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
4.0
"Everyone's got secrets, right?"
This book made me feel like I was 13 and watching a new episode of Pretty Little Liars (in a good way)!
Five students enter detention, and only four leave. When Simon, owner of the local gossip mill, doesn't make it out of detention alive, the four who were with him are being investigated for his murder, as Simon was about to drop rumors about them they did not want getting out. However, as things unfold, they learn that things are not what they seem - and that they have to work together to make it out.
I loved this book! The development and backstories of the characters were all really well done (Addy and Nate are superior) and I was hooked from the first page. The mystery constantly kept me guessing and I felt super accomplished when I actually got some aspects right! It isn't by any means predictable, though; every page has new information and it'll make your head spin.
