One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus

Five students go to detention, only four leave alive. The beauty, the brain, the bad boy, the athlete and the outcast are all in one room, so it’s never going to be boring. High school drama hits a new level in this fast-paced mystery thriller, which is split so you can read from each character’s perspective. 

This book is about secrets and the desperate lengths people would go to hide them. Simon, the one who dies, runs a gossip blog, and he’s planning to post private, sensitive news about each of the people he’s in detention with. They’re desperate to keep him quiet forever. So desperate they have motive for murder.

I couldn’t put it down. Totally addictive page-turner. 

“You find out who your real friends are when stuff like this happens. Turns out I didn’t have any.”

A great book if you’re in need some #thrills, or an exciting #escape.
