One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus
What’s a book you read because of the hype but you found it didn’t measure up?
For me it’s One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus. The only reason I read to the end is that I wanted to solve the mystery. But basically I’ve determined that high-school set YA just isn’t for me anymore. The writing was simple and nothing amazing. The story flowed but I wasn’t captivated by the characters and there was nothing stand out about it. I actually felt a bit bored reading it at times. I think there are better books for me out there because I’m only giving it ⭐️⭐️.
So what I’ve determined is I’m going to be even more picky about the YA fiction I read now - which will likely mean I won’t read any for a while.
