One of Us Is Lying

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY • BUZZFEED • POPCRUSH

“Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club” (Entertainment Weekly) in this addictive mystery about what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive.

 
Pay close attention and you might solve this.
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.

    Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
    Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess.
    Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
    Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
    And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app.
 
Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. 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. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?

Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

All the secrets of the Bayview Four will be revealed in the TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!

And don’t miss the #1 New York Times bestselling sequel, One of Us is Next!

Fun Young Adult book that is reminiscent of The Breakfast Club.

This book was really good! It wasn't your typical high school murder story. Sure, your typical characters are there, and the good girl falls for the bad boy stereotype was a little stale, but the storyline was great, I loved most of the characters and I didn't see the twist coming until just before it was revealed. Definitely worth a read!

Good book but a bit overrated in my opinion. My favorite part was the relationship between Bronwyn and Nate. I felt like the ending was okay.

I did like this book but I felt confused reading into it , the storyline was great and the relationship between Nate and Bronwyn was what made me finish this book.
