One of Us Is Lying

Definitely a book for young adults and year 10 plus. Great plot which interesting characters and story line. Simon dies from a peanut allergy how and why was he the target. Who put the fake phones in some of the pupils bags. Each kid has a motive as to why they want Simon dead... but who did it???

It was alright but a bit slow at the beginning

This book was amazing. The murder was very dramatic and the time in between had so many unexpected things happen. The whole plot of the murder was mind-blowing and it surprised me as it was very unexpected and I didn't see it coming. My favourite character was Addy because even at one of her lowest moments she was still positive and I think it was amazing how honest she was with Jake about TJ because it takes a lot of courage to tell someone that.

great

Roses are read
Violets are blue
Nate’s hot af
And Cooper is too

soooo interesting and juicy. It's a murder mystery. I liked Addie best because she has the most interesting role as one of the suspects. And Cooper, also a suspect, because he's a very good friend to everyone. It is a pageturner and gripping till the end. I would recommend it to readers aged 12 and above.

I watched the series on netflix and wanted to read the book to compare and i definitely enjoyed the book just as much as the show! i recommend if you want a good mystery

It was a very good book.

I recommend this book to people who like mystery and crime. I was at the edge of my seat the whole entire time whilst reading the book the characters all spoke differently and are all unique. My favourite person was Addy because when her and Jake broke up she changed so much and realised how much control she let Jake have over her.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the way that the characters each took a chapter or two and the story was built on their different perspectives. I liked the relationships that built up between them too with small amounts of info being given at a time.
There were twists and turns that I wasn't expecting in the story and would recommend it to others.

This title is borrowed so i thought I would give it a go and see what all the chatter was about.
I listened to the audio book version - which was reasonably good. Clear different voices for each of the characters so easy to follow.
Slick gossip girl style mystery, Told from 4 alternating viewpoints, four American teen stereotype characters; 'the jock', 'the prom princess', 'the bad boy', 'the smart goody two shoes'. It doesn't really stray very far from the expected but it is pacy and has enough twists to keep teens entertained. Reminded me of Katie Zhao's 'How we fall apart' so one to recommend if students enjoy this.
Older teen book.
Sex references, misogyny, controlling relationships, LGBTQ Characters, suicide and depression

This book is the best thing I have ever read!!! My favourite book in fact! What I liked about this story is that after every chapter it would finish of the sentences with cliff hangers and it just wants to make you keep on reading and reading and reading and now I’m off to reading the second book!!!

I testing and would recommend to all of my friend

Horror death amazing
This is my new fav book

It is kinda boring and nearly had any pictures.so I don't recommend it

Nice twist on the sad state of American school gun killings!

This was a thrilling and highly enjoyable book. The plot took me on a journey of secrets and lies. My favourite characters were Cooper, Bronwyn and Nate because despite what they were going through, they stuck up for what they believed was right. I would recommend this book to readers aged 14+.

“One of us is Lying” is an exciting thriller with lots of scary plot twists. I loved reading this book because it was never boring and I found the characters very interesting. I was very intrigued by the ending of the book when the truth was revealed.

One detention. Five students. Only four leave the room alive.
Simon Kellheller, runner of About That, the school gossip platform, is dead. Only four people could have done it. Bronwyn (who has never broken a rule in her life), Cooper (who is surely headed for baseball fame), Addy (homecoming princess) and Nate (who everyone knows is a dealer). It has to be one of them. But who…?

It was really good and when I found out there was a TV show I watched it straight away. I was so sad finishing the book.

This book was a really good mystery full of constant suspense.
My favourite character was Addy because she has similar interests like me and I like her rebellious personality change after ther love of her life breaks up with her after finding out about her dark secrets.

My favourite character was Bronwyn Rojas and I loved her relationship with Nate. I also love that Addy and Cooper were finally able to embrace who they really were. The plot twist was so unexpected, and I would recommend this book.

I thought that the plot was thrilling and interesting.

This is probably my favourite book at the moment. My favourite character is definitely Nate, don't really have a reason he just is. I would definitely receive this to someone who loves young adult murder mysteries with twists.

One Of Us Is Lying opens with four students heading into detention, all thinking they don't deserve to be there. Before long, a fifth student - Simon, who runs a popular gossip app called 'About That' - is dead in the classroom, and suddenly the four students are murder suspects. Not only were Bronwyn, Nate, Addy, and Cooper the only people in the room with Simon when he died, but they also all have devastating and, in some ways dangerous, secrets Simon was close to publishing. As the story unfolds, it's possible the students have been framed, but they keep unraveling more of one another's secrets, leaving them all confused as to whom they can trust. They also learn Simon had plenty of enemies in school, due to the fact that he had wrecked many lives by posting students' darkest secrets and misdeeds. Romance, bullying, cliques, secret lives, abandonment/neglect, cheating and family issues entangle the four main characters as they try to figure out which of them did it or who would want to set them up for a murder conviction.
What an incredible read! There was something so addictive about this book; it felt at times distinctly young adult while also having moments that felt so well done it was beyond the stereotype of what a teenage thriller tends to be.
I would recommend this to teenagers age 13-14+, as it contains several triggering and mature topics frequently throughout the story.
I would rate this 5/5 stars.

A great read. Really descriptive of the characters and kept me in suspense

About That is NOT a blog that you want to be on. Simon( a sad loner at Bayview High) enjoys spilling people's secrets just for the pure joy of it, using About That to spread it to the whole school. If any of your secrets end up on there, you KNOW that your life will be ruined. However, About That takes a dark turn one day, when the creator of it dies violently from nut allergies in the middle of a detention. Traces of nut oil were found on the same cup he drank from, but who put it there? This is the question you will continue to ask yourself through out the book. It will get you gasping at the end in shock with the final twist. The characters were extremely well made and had very believable personalities and near the end of the book, I felt like I was best friends with all of the book characters. If you are into drama, mystery and romance then this book is definitely for you. The only reason I scored it 4 stars was because the second one of the series is even better! Recommended for age 12-16 as there is some content that could be upsetting for younger children.

Very good

quite good, it was fictiona;
