One of Us is Lying by Karen Manus is a young adult thriller. It is blurbed as being a mixture of “Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars”, and let's be honest- that was more than enough to sell me on this book. Seriously, that was all it took for me to be super super excited to read this one. And I have to say, I really loved One of us is Lying! It was a whirlwind ride that kept me on the edge of my seat basically from the first page.

One of Us is Lying is a very breakfast club set up. Five teenagers start out in detention, but here is where the pretty little liars comes in because only four of the five teens walk out of detention alive. There was also a gossip girl type element, with the whole secret gossip app, that discussed the latest school gossip. And that was just extra icing on the cake for me.

One of Us is Lying is a book that I don't want to say too much about. I think it is the kind of book that you need to go in knowing as little as possible and find the rest out for yourself. I also tried to solve the mystery on my own. I got a few things throughout the book right, but I was also wrong about a lot. Haha. Which is one of the things I loved about the story. It was so interesting to read because I didn't know what was going to happen next, and at the same time I needed to know. I was totally addicted to this story. I loved One of Us is Lying!
