6.5/10 | Although 'One of Us is Lying' was an entertaining and fast read, I was a bit disappointed by the ending and the portrayal of depression, which left me genuinely sad.

I like that the book divides each characters personality, point of view, thoughts, also to keep the readers guessing interesting to see how did it. To see how each perspective of the character describes in depth of there point of view. To find out who killed Simenon there are 4 suspects spending time with each other talking to each other they start defending each other from the taunts of their peers . They believe none of them are the murder. I was very surprised who as the murder its unexpected who as behind it . I love a thriller murder mystery young adult read.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It’s like teen show meets murder mystery in one book.
