One of Us Is Lying

High school can be tough – but in this story, detention turns deadly when one student doesn’t make it out alive. What follows is a gripping murder mystery where the survivors suddenly find themselves the prime suspects, subjected to immense pressure, harassment, and fear. The victim, Simon, was anything but innocent—known as the school’s whistleblower, he exposed the darkest secrets of his classmates through his notorious app 'About That'. With someone continuing to post new threats online, the four students must join forces to uncover the real culprit and prove their innocence. The characters couldn’t be more different, which gave me a vibe similar to an updated Breakfast Club. The mix of teenage drama, suspense, and a twist-filled finale makes this book an exciting page-turner. A cleverly written YA thriller that combines high school dynamics with a chilling murder mystery—definitely worth reading.
