this book was so boring until the last 1/4 of the book and then it finally got a bit exciting. this would be a 2/5 but i thought the ending was cute.

ngl i was not that surprised when we found out who did it. the changing pov kinda messed it up for me.

would definitely recommend reading [b:A Good Girl's Guide to Murder|40916679|A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #1)|Holly Jackson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1545494980l/40916679._SY75_.jpg|63791847] instead

I forgot to mark this as finished....

Anyway, this was a pretty good book. I loved it and there were defiantly some plot twists and gasp-able moments.

Also, the ships are so cute!

Woh, me lo leí más rápido de lo que creí. "Alguien está mintiendo", está catalogado como Thriller Juvenil pero apenas y se maneja este género dentro de la historia (no sentí la piel chinita del suspenso). Es ligero, ameno y bastante entretenido pero lo que me llamó más la atención es el trasfondo (el bulling).

"Simón", es él centro y es un personaje complejo, el cual fuimos conociendo pero no suficiente para ver lo tan dañado que estaba. No se aprovecha y su muerte con las revelaciones ya hechas se pasa como si nada.
En cuanto al resto de los personajes son los típicos: el deportista, la inteligente, el chico malo, la popular muy cliché (pero uno que gusta curiosamente), a excepción de "la popular", Addy los demás me fastidiaron, vamos que no veo evolución, miss popular paso hacer malota y segura de sí misma, y los demás ¿qué?, incluyamos el típico romance (cliche) chico malo+nerd.

Con todo gusta y pasas página a página preguntándote quien fue el culpable, hasta que todo se vuelve tan claro que sólo esperas que se diga pero no antes de mostrar al maniaco del control como titiritista.

No apoyo los finales "Happy, Happy" en este tipo de historias, así que me quedo un tanto insatisfecha con el.

I would give this book 3.5 stars. Overall a cool, quick mystery book to pass along the time and the author did a good job of keeping the readers entertained trying to put the pieces together however I must say the last 30+ pages dragged a bit. I do believe the read is a good mystery for young adults !
