One thing I feel obliged to mention is that I have seen criticism for the way any sexual identity is dealt with in the book, and used for a bit of shock factor. Taking into account that I am NOT the target market for this book, I figure if I read this when I was 15-20yrs old, I’d have been pretty intrigued and impressed with the book. There’s a murder to solve, and everybody is a suspect….and also acting pretty suspicious. The pace of the book was good and the narration by the different characters kept the book interesting, getting the different POV’s.
I thought this book had an interesting plot. the jock, the nerd, the bad boy, the pretty girl and our gossip app creator. The characters are all pretty much your stereotypical teenage cast…. One of Us is Lying feels like a bit of a mashup of all of those shows, so I definitely felt a bit of nostalgia reading this. I think of Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and The OC. One of Us is Lying reminds me very much of my early 20’s when all the shows I watched featured high school teenagers, with loads of secrets. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?Įveryone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. Before the end of detention Simon’s dead. Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.Ĭooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.Īnd Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.īronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.Īddy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Pay close attention and you might solve this. Was it worth the wait? What is One of Us is Lying about? I’ve been resisting watching One of us is Lying on Netflix recently, because I knew I wanted to read the book first.
Do you read the book and watch the movie/series? Or do you do one or the other? Personally, I prefer to read the book and then watch the screen adaptation.
