One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
4.0
•3.5/5•
Honestly an amazing book, but.... it just fall short of the hype. I understand that it was a thriller but it just didn’t give off that vibe. Most of the book, it’s just them trying to copped with the death instead of actually trying to figure it out. I had no problem with it though since I love the characters. But by the way everyone is hyping it up and the genre it was in, I was just expecting so much more.
Although the characters are so well developed. You could see their development throughout the book for each and every character. I must admit, I didn’t like some of the characters at first such as Cooper because I didn’t find his POV interesting. But by the end, I care for each one of the character deeply.
I love the dynamics in this, the romance, family aspect and the friends aspect. I just love how they all become such good friends and their family has also been involve in this. They all had their hardships but they had face them together.
Also I find this book a bit disturbing. The ending did surprise me, I really wasn’t expecting that. Also it’s so cool to watch these stereotypes get flipped. Yes, they had an essence of those types but they are so much more than that. I could really appreciate this part of the book.
Overall, it was a nice read. I love the book. But I can’t give it that 4 or 5 stars it deserves just because my expectations was way too high.
