One of Us Is Lying

actual rating: 3.5 stars

I think the best way to describe this book is The Breakfast Club mixed with Pretty Little Liars. You got the suspense, you got the stereotypical teenage archetypes: the nerd, the bad boy, the popular blonde, and the jock. And you got the romance. I love how as the story progresses, they all begin to pull away from these archetypes and own up to their lies and embrace them.

I was actively trying to figure out who was behind Simon's murder and even though the writing prompts you to sometimes suspect one of the four main characters...I didn't take the false bait.
