I chose to read One of Us is Lying because “13 year old me would have loved it,” but I quickly realized that was actually 10 years ago and I don’t have exactly the same interests anymore 💀 As for the characters: I loved Addy; I liked Cooper; I audibly groaned every time I got to a Nate section- he’s a tired cliché and really dragged down Bronwyn’s character. Moral of the story:
teenage boys’ internet usage is a public health emergency.

This book is my all time favorite. It’s a mystery, but not typical. It doesn’t follow the same “someone disappeared let’s find them” that most do, so I really enjoyed the different plot. The plot twists were amazing, and the characters all having their own chapters was perfect. Love this book forever!!
