Every main character had a huge circle of minor-characters in their lives, including siblings and friends, ALL with histories and connections.
The only thing that was an issue for me is: so. Also I loved that he was hounded by toxic masculinity but he didn’t give up and change himself. It took me a bit to warm up to Phoebe’s chapters, but I reeeally loved Maeve!! And Knox is SO SOFT and I do love the soft boys. There’s also fear-mongering, horrific gossip, and dangerous secrets revealed. Each have really complex lives and they three become tightly woven together as they unravel the mystery of who’s behind this life-ruining anonymous game of Truth or Dare. We have three narrators: Phoebe, Maeve, and Knox.
Maeve’s worried about her childhood lukemia coming back Knox is wilting under his father’s sneers that he’s too soft Phoebe is losing her connection to her family from grief after her dad died and truth of a terrible secret with her sister. everyday family and teen drama and angst (which I LOVED). a deadly game of Truth or Dare (an anonymous person texts you “truth or dare” and if you don’t take the dare, they’ll reveal a horrific life-ruining secret truth about you). I firmly believe thrillers are best when you know next to nothing about them - so I don’t want to go into details! But basically this story involves: But if you’re chaotic ¯\_( ツ )_/¯ go for it.)

Because I remember like 3% of OFUIL and I still fully enjoyed this. 📖 Review of Two Can Keep A Secret (standalone) Can you read this sequel without having read One Of Us Is Lying? 📖 Find One Of Us Is Lying (Book 1 on Goodreads) I admit I didn’t actually love the first book, but I adored McManus’ second book (Two Can Keep a Secret) so I was interested to try the sequel to One of Us Is Lying…and GAH I’M SO GLAD, because I’m lowkey obsessed. Getting to the end and discovering how many characters’ lives were tangled up together - not to mention that circular finale!!! - just had me in full appreciation of the story and the author’s cleverness. I am utterly basking in the feels of having just finished a good book.īASKING, I tell you! The twists in this were so clever, so intricately woven.
