And we’re back with another little recommendation segment of If You Loved This. I’m back with the mystery recs because, let’s be honest, who can put down one good mystery without wanting to read another one that feels just as good?
I’m sure by now most of you have heard of this book by now but I’ll post the synopsis and everything below just in case you haven’t. It’s been topping the NYT YA bestseller lists for a ridiculous amount of weeks by now and it deservedly gets that spot. Now a Peacock TV show, I suppose there may be more interest garnered on this book, so what are some great recommendations if you loved One of Us Is Lying?
Well, friend, that’s a great question to ask.
About the book (review here)
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.
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.
Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess.
Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app.
Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention, Simon’s dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?
Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.
