Five students go to detention. Only four leave alive.

Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a rule.

Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond.

Bad boy Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime.

Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life.

And outsider Simon, creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again.

He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects.

Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them.

Review of 'One of Us Is Lying' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

The title One of Us Is Lying implies that one of the four students accused of murder and denying it is actually a murderer. Finding out Simon killed himself makes none of the students a liar and therefore, the title is bullshit. Even if they are lying by omission (they all have secrets) then All of Them Are Lying. Still a bullshit title.

Plus, I hated the constant switching of POVs within a chapter. Sometimes even multiple POVs across multiple consecutive pages.

This book sucked. Terrible writing.
