Critic Reviews
Twisty plotting, breakneck pacing and intriguing characterisation add up to an exciting single-sitting thrillerish treat
A fantastic murder mystery, packed with cryptic clues and countless plot twists. I could not put this book down
Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club
Tightly plotted and brilliantly written, with sharp, believable characters, this whodunit is utterly irresistible
Recommendation: if you like this, you'll like 'I was dead for 13 minutes', 'Suicide notes from beautiful girls'.

The story is simple, four typical teenagers get caught up in a mysterious death of a fellow unpopular student. The cause of it is revealed through their four PoV narration.
If you have watched high school movies or high school TV serials, there is nothing new here. All characters are exactly who you expect to be. You can predict any twists or reveals, chapters before it comes. The writing is simple. The romance is even simpler.
The narrators were very clear, consistent and showed good emotion throughout the novel. Based on the voice you were able to understand which character was speaking pretty easily. There was also slight accent as per what the character warranted, which was also helpful.
In spite of all this, I still had to concentrate to follow along. It wasn't like watching a chick flick while you finish writing your document. I had to pause and rewind at times to catch what I missed. I am going to attribute it to first timer syndrome and give it a few more audibles.
What other choice do I have, given the way my days are going!! If I need to continue my tryst with my beloved books, I better find a way to make this work!
A light breezy listen

I've had this book on my 'to-read' list for years simply because the premise fascinated me. However, after finally getting into it - as I finished the last chapter, I felt the author conned me into reading a saccharine romance novel disguised as a nail-biting thriller.
This book is a sheep in wolf's clothing.
One of us was lying indeed.
The story centers around high-school students - Bronwyn, Addy, Nate and Cooper - tangled up in the murder investigation of a student. The four of them are the prime suspects and the plot revolves less around them actually unravelling the threads behind the mysterious murder, and more on their personal lives and how the investigation pushes each of them into unchartered territory with their family, friends and loved ones.
I was mildly taken in by the initial intrigue of trying to figure out which of the four students was possibly the killer - only to be blindsided by the most tedious, cringe-worthy and supremely clichéd romance thread between Bronwyn and Nate. I audibly groaned every time the author decided to focus on these two, and take away from the allure of the actual murder-mystery plot at hand.
I was hoping the last few chapters would surprise me with a twist that would make me go "Damn!" - only to be subjected to a fairly lazy reveal tied together by very convenient plot progression elements to assist that revelation.
Overall - it's ok. If you're into mystery/romance novels, this is definitely up your alley. If you're just a mystery buff, I'd avert your eyes to better books the genre has to offer.
PS: I listened to the audiobook - shoutout to Kim Mai Guest, MacLeod Andrews, Robbie Daymond and Shannon McManus for doing a great job voicing the characters!
