One Of Us Is Next: TikTok made me buy it (One Of Us Is Lying, 2)

Product Information

Bayview High...detention...be there! The Breakfast Club vibe is strong when we start out with a rather unlikely group of kids meeting for detention. This is not your typical bunch of kids that frequent such punishments, in fact I think only one of them has had this joyful experience and that is Nate. I loved how the students were classified into their "groups" they associated with. The beauty, the brain, the criminal and the athlete...I mean we all know these groups really do exist in high school. Cosola, Mary (22 July 2017).

Janae Vargas: Simon's best friend. She plays a crucial role in the climax. She becomes friends with Addy. She is insecure.

After a typical day in a typical American high school, five teenagers enter detention but only four make it out alive. Simon, notorious due to his gossip-style blog that revealed all the dark and dirty secrets his fellow students never thought would see the light of day, had made many enemies. But which one would want to see him dead? Which one of them is lying? I really dunno how long “One of Us is Lying” was already on my list but it feels like it’s been on my TBR forever. *lol*

The investigation receives media attention and the four are dubbed the 'Bayview Four.' After Simon's funeral, his post is leaked and the rest of the school learns the four's secrets, triggering the consequences: Bronwyn's parents are disappointed, Nate's house is searched for drugs, Addy's relationship ends, and Cooper's performance is investigated. This prompts Maeve, Bronwyn's younger sister, to investigate Simon's online activity, which brings to light an encrypted original post about Cooper, and Simon's activity on massacre-worship forums, where he mentions a similar desire. But it was a fun read nonetheless. I was surprised that I enjoyed the story in One of Us is Next more than its predecessor. You revisit pretty much all the main characters of the first book, but there’s also a fun assortment of side plots that exist outside the confines of high school, unlike the first book. One of Us Is Lying has been described on several occasions as a cross between The Breakfast Club and Pretty Little Liars. [7] [8] [2] Awards and recognition [ edit ]

One of them killed Simon the pieman who has a gossip app.....oh boy...and he exposes all these bitches for little despicable acts cuz he is an outcast. Throw in a school slut, a talk show host, a cougar mom, a bipolar mom, an alcoholic dad, a goth girl, a chinese crossdresser and what you have is a very dull circus side show...dull and I mean dull....did I say dull ! Yes DULL ! No I am not lying !Its so bloody binge-able you guys, like I finished it in a day and I wasn’t even intending to binge it The Prom Queen who has never been able to find herself as a separate person from her long term boyfriend. This book is so problematic and most of it is NEVER challenged. First of all, can we talk about the immense amounts of slut-shaming? I could handle it if it was coming just from the characters and/or was actually being challenged consistently, but 1) it isn't challenged every time in the dialogue, and 2) the author contributes to the slut-shaming narrative regarding women cheating.

Please Note: There will be spoilers, perhaps even a few swear words, perhaps some projectile missiles of anger, perhaps even a dollop of laughter but remember there are spoilers !! Let me insert a picture so you don't see any of them if you don't want to ! One of Us Is Lying is the story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has something to hide.the characters: I liked Bronwyn and Nate enough to stay I didn't hate them. Not Addy and Cooper though. They were laughable and Addy's whole empowering story line was corny. Also, you're not going to catch me uplifting a bunch of cheaters. And everyone else didn't have a prominent personality and I didn't care for them. a b c Gelman, Vlada (October 20, 2022). " One of Us Is Lying EP Warns of 'Scarier' Season 2 That Strays from Books".

Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose? Finally there is Nate....the sultry badboy drug dealer with attachment issues that ends up being sweeter than Winnie the Pooh in honey....yup you better believe it....I'm not lying

Following the success of his Spanish Netflix series Elite, Darío Madrona received several offers to work on American television series; one such offer was for One of Us Is Lying. Madrona thought the show would provide something "a little brighter" than traditional mystery stories and found the novel "super addictive"—he was also intrigued by the flawed and untruthful characters, and saw the project as a chance to explore more profound themes of friendship, love and want. After accepting the offer, Madrona met with the producers and studio and was hired as showrunner. [7] This book was a pleasant surprise! It was refreshing and a change from the usual young-adult contemporary. Second, a side character was also said to be depressed and she was his accomplice. She framed his death on the other 4 students by planting evidence. Through her, depression is villainized once again. Spoilers start here, plus I’ll answer a few commonly asked questions!
