A modern day “Breakfast Club” and “Gossip Girl” meets murder mystery would be my best description of this young adult novel。 Five high school students from different social circles enter detention, but only four come out alive after one has a severe allergic reaction。 The remaining four become suspects。 But it seems like a lot of the student body has an axe to grind with Simon, the student that died, because he was the one behind a “Gossip Girl” style app that gave dirt on the students。 It is an A modern day “Breakfast Club” and “Gossip Girl” meets murder mystery would be my best description of this young adult novel。 Five high school students from different social circles enter detention, but only four come out alive after one has a severe allergic reaction。 The remaining four become suspects。 But it seems like a lot of the student body has an axe to grind with Simon, the student that died, because he was the one behind a “Gossip Girl” style app that gave dirt on the students。 It is an entertaining read to find out how these remaining students become friends and try to get to the bottom of finding out who killed Simon。 The author gives some good bread crumbs along the way to make it easy enough to figure out parts of what happened if you are paying attention。 。。。more
Iris,
It reminded me a little bit of Petty Little Liars, except that that book was shite and this one was actually pretty good。 I enjoyed the different characters, the exploration of grey areas and the plot。

The cliche grouping was very breakfast club, but the twist at the end completely made up for it。
booklover223,
It was very interesting and entertaining but the ending lowk dissapointed me :/ Would recommend tho!
Maddie Downey,
This book had really good twists and turns, and a great moment of suspense toward the end。 The writing was engaging and it didn't feel too trope-y, which was nice。 For a YA mystery, I thought it was very well written。 This book had really good twists and turns, and a great moment of suspense toward the end。 The writing was engaging and it didn't feel too trope-y, which was nice。 For a YA mystery, I thought it was very well written。 。。。more

Brian Bailone,
A captivating thriller that had no problems keeping attention。 She did a great job at keeping this intricate plot and all the characters (in which there are many) very well organized。 Excited to see where the sequel takes this story and excited to watch the TV series!
Peter,
I don't have a lot of experience with murder mystery, but I can tell that this is a unique one。In One of Us is Lying, there isn't a world-class detective who plays the role of the main character。 You get told the story of the incident by the people who know it best: the people who were there。I love this book because it doesn't really matter who the killer is - the characters are, for the most part, very likeable, and a weird part of you will still like them even if you know they're a murderer。I I don't have a lot of experience with murder mystery, but I can tell that this is a unique one。In One of Us is Lying, there isn't a world-class detective who plays the role of the main character。 You get told the story of the incident by the people who know it best: the people who were there。I love this book because it doesn't really matter who the killer is - the characters are, for the most part, very likeable, and a weird part of you will still like them even if you know they're a murderer。I enjoyed trying to figure out who did it。 I got it wrong。 Perhaps I'll try another murder mystery sometime, and see if I can practice my detective skills。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Ah loved this one!!! A super easy read filled with suspense。 Like a modern-day, murder mystery Breakfast Club。 Five students walk into detention, 4 students come out alive。 A brain, a beauty, a criminal, a jock, and the (dead) loner。 This book had me rooting for all 4 of the accused, where all 4 characters were likeable in their own unique ways。 Tore through this to see how it would end。 Excited to check out the mini-series, even though I’m sure it won’t be entirely true to the book。
Claire,

This is my all time favorite book。 This book made me fall in love with one of it's characters(Nate Macauley)。 It has a really great ending, especially because it is a suprise ending that I did not expect at all intill I got towards the end of the book。 If you have read this book or plan to I would recommend watching the TV show。 The book is a lot better and the TV show is a lot diffrent from the book, but the TV show is still pretty good。 Warning, the TV show does end in a huge cliffhanger and t This is my all time favorite book。 This book made me fall in love with one of it's characters(Nate Macauley)。 It has a really great ending, especially because it is a suprise ending that I did not expect at all intill I got towards the end of the book。 If you have read this book or plan to I would recommend watching the TV show。 The book is a lot better and the TV show is a lot diffrent from the book, but the TV show is still pretty good。 Warning, the TV show does end in a huge cliffhanger and there will not be another season because it got canceled。 If you like this book, I also recommend that you read the second book("One of us is Next")。 There will be a third book that is expected to come out sometime in late July or early August。 。。。more

It was good。 not mega fast paced but i really had no clue who had done it。
Fallout9,
This book was clearly made for silly idiotic 12 year old because why is the vocabulary equal to my 10 year old sisters level。 The ending was so predictable that I guessed it from the start。 I disliked all the characters except Addy。 Bronwyn is a little bitch and the story between her an Nate is soooooo dead and boring YAWNNN。 Been there done that。 I had to skip every single chapter that started with COOPER。 FUCK THAT FGGOT NO ONE CARES。 Boring ass story。 I wish I didn't waste my time。 This book was clearly made for silly idiotic 12 year old because why is the vocabulary equal to my 10 year old sisters level。 The ending was so predictable that I guessed it from the start。 I disliked all the characters except Addy。 Bronwyn is a little bitch and the story between her an Nate is soooooo dead and boring YAWNNN。 Been there done that。 I had to skip every single chapter that started with COOPER。 FUCK THAT FGGOT NO ONE CARES。 Boring ass story。 I wish I didn't waste my time。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 One of Us is Lying is a great mystery book。 Five teenagers go into detention, and only four come out alive。 My mind was constantly at war with itself。 I had multiple theories, addicted to the plot and dying (no pun intended) to find out who it was, why they did it, what would happen。 This book was amazing and I have absolutely no regrets。 The plot twist was so obvious yet so surprising。
Olivia Hughes,
read it in two days! very fun

Reilly Luoma,
i tried, i put it down though because I could just not get into it。 Kind of boring and heartless, I told my English teacher, and she described it as seeming like "a book written to make money。" Its hard to find passion within it, and it is such a basic teen novel。 I could see why some could like it, but personally, its not for me。 i tried, i put it down though because I could just not get into it。 Kind of boring and heartless, I told my English teacher, and she described it as seeming like "a book written to make money。" Its hard to find passion within it, and it is such a basic teen novel。 I could see why some could like it, but personally, its not for me。 。。。more
Julie-Anne Mooibroek,
Leuk verhaal over een moord op een middelbare school waarbij 4 scholieren als verdachten worden gezien。 Ik was wel trots dat ik het einde al voorspeld had。 Leest lekker weg maar is wel een beetje een jong volwassenen boek door de schrijfstijl en het verhaal。 3,5 sterren。
Jenny Augustin,
Felt a little slow at times, but ultimately a thrilling read。
Sydney Greenlees,
I thought it was a good fast paced read and i really enjoyed reading it。 Absolutely love Bronwyn and Nate。 I need the second book now。

Eliah King,
