About this deal

Bayview High...detention...be there! The Breakfast Club vibe is strong when we start out with a rather unlikely group of kids meeting for detention. This is not your typical bunch of kids that frequent such punishments, in fact I think only one of them has had this joyful experience and that is Nate. I loved how the students were classified into their "groups" they associated with. The beauty, the brain, the criminal and the athlete...I mean we all know these groups really do exist in high school.

In the Epilogue (three months later), the four have become good friends despite all being very different types of people. Bronwyn (good girl) and Nate (bad boy) begin dating. I think it’s clear that whatever Jake’s secret is, Cole really wants to keep it secret, and we’ll see how far he’s willing to go to keep it covered up. So we’ll explore both the mystery of what Jake’s secret was and what Cole might have done to cover it up." Efe (October 7, 2021). "De Élite a Hollywood: Darío Madrona Presenta la Serie One Of Us Is Lying"[From Elite to Hollywood: Darío Madrona Presents the Series One Of Us Is Lying]. Los Angeles Times (in Spanish). Archived from the original on February 3, 2023 . Retrieved February 1, 2023. Simon Kelleher: Self-proclaimed omniscient narrator and creator of About That, the gossip app revolving around the students of the fictional American high school, Bayview High. He is noted to suffer from depression. His death acts as a catalyst for the events of the story, and the rumors and secrets told in his app are what implicate the others in detention as suspects for his murder.

I think it’s that I just finished You by Caroline Kepnes. And that’s really just a much better book than this. Unfair standard, though. The Characters. It is a rare day indeed that I find fleshed out, grounded, relatable characters that draw me in to a young adult narrative the way that these did here. My AHA moment may not have come during the big twist, but it certainly came in waves abounding throughout my experience journeying with these various high school kids. I was sure this would be another read with those stereotypical teenagers that give contemporary YA novels a bad rep; for crying out loud the stereotypes are printed on the inside of the book cover in the description! I think this was a clever move by the publisher and author; if other readers pull the same underestimation as I did, they will be more than pleasantly surprised at what they get out of this book. In referral to the wrapping up of characters and not the twist, the ending was one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. There is no gag worthy happily ever after where everyone is perfectly paired up in couples and they ride off into the sunset on their baby unicorns while the sun beats down on their pimple free faces…. No, while there are some upbeats moments, the ending is messy and real and I welcomed it whole heartedly. People made mistakes beyond the central narrative and there were consequences and some things were left open-ended in the way that makes you wonder what their eventual decisions lead to. I’m extremely pleased that the author chose to take some risky leeway with her writing direction and applaud her with a standing ovation. The author also used alternating perspectives which gave us a different view of the story each time. Also, a shout-out to Kris, the real and only smart one here. Mystery solves thanks to Kris’s smart brain, you go Kris, you go! But nothing has settled for the residents of Bayview. Not now someone has started playing a sinister game of Truth or Dare.

Addie the dependent insecure pimpled barbie doll who ends up being a feminist heroine....no way...yes way...no way...yes way But as far as that goes, this book was pretty good at it. It, at the very least, incorporated the drama into the murder and the motive.Goldberg, Lesley (August 15, 2019). " Queer as Folk Reboot, One of Us Is Lying Move to NBCUniversal's Streaming Service". The Hollywood Reporter. Archived from the original on April 26, 2021 . Retrieved April 26, 2021. Spoilers start here, plus I’ll answer a few commonly asked questions! Don’t keep reading unless you’ve read the book! Ight, seriously, these 5 kids get in trouble and have detention where they're talking and it's all detention stuff when one of the kids starts choking and having an allergic reaction. he's taken to the hospital and later the four kids find out he dies. His death is all suspicious and now all four of 'em are suspects and we need to figure who dunnit and who's lying. i cant wait to see what kind of books mcmanus writes next! hopefully its more of this, please and thank you! This is the recipe this book was made of and since I enjoyed solving the murder mystery I decided that I won’t go into detail all too much.

As a huge fan of "The Breakfast Club", I loved the concept of five characters with different personalities meeting in detention from the get go, and I'm incredibly happy to report that my high expectations were even exceeded! I, personally, don’t. Give me darkness and thrills and creeps and gore. Do not give me baseball drama and romantic miscommunication and phones getting taken away, please. I’m not interested.I really dunno how long “One of Us is Lying” was already on my list but it feels like it’s been on my TBR forever. *lol* mental illness rep: Nope nope nope. Let's please not use mental illness as a motive or in such a degrading way. _____ is depressed, and using that as something to explain why a person did something horrible, is not something I ever want to read. Villainizing all the characters with mental illnesses and degrading them to just that, is an automatic no for me. All of the characters go through some personal growth throughout the book. This growth is done realistically; nothing is over the top or too unbelievable.
