REVIEW: One of Us Is Lying by Karen M McManus
*Contains Spoilers*
5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is one of those rare cases that I actually watched the tv show, before I read the book. The show was really good, and I figured since I loved it so much the book must be even better.
If you're wondering this book is like a mix of Breakfast club - gossip girl - Pretty little liars - and even revenge.
Its the epitome of YA murder mystery that I ADORE!
There were actually some really big differences between the first season of the show and the book. It didn't alter my rating, I am actually glad we get 2 alternate endings in both. One a little lighter, and one a little darker.
The #1 major difference between the series and the book is the identity of Simon's killer. In the show, Jake and Simon planned a prank where Simon would fake an allergic reaction to peanut oil, but Jake got scared when Simon revealed he had recorded their conversations. Jake stole the epi pens, leading to Simon's death. In the book, Simon died by suicide and involved Jake in his plan to frame others for his murder. The series added the detail of Simon being the mayor's son, which wasn't significant in the book. Simon brought Jake in to take over About That after his death. Jake was pure evil, as he also manipulated a conversation with Janae to blackmail her into compliance after Simon’s death.
I liked Simon’s story better in the series as it was less “13 reasons why” and more a murder situation. Jake & Simon were also more “friendly” in the series than the books and there was no mention of Simon’s funeral & the xbox in the book.
#2 Nate and Bronwyn's relationship had more development in the book. In the series, Bronwyn initially dated Evan but became interested in Nate after Simon's death.
I really enjoyed their romance more in the books. I understand that for tv they may have wanted to drag out them coming together a bit more for ratings, but the book did it well. Bronwyn does sort of ‘date’ Evan at the end of the book, but of course ends up back with Nate. I also liked both characters better in the book.
#3 Maeve in the book was the gang's tech expert but was not romantically involved with Simon or Janae. However, in the series, she had romantic ties to both of them. Bronwyn still had a reason to confront Simon in the book due to an About That post about her sister, and Maeve appeared on the app after getting drunk at a party, not for sexting as shown in the show.
I enjoyed Maeve way better in the book than in the series. In the series she was conniving and at odds with her sister at times. Bronwyn kept so many secrets from her and in the book they were very close, and Bronwyn told her everything.
#4 The detention teacher, Mrs. Avery, played a role in Simon's death in the series by being blackmailed to get the Bayview Four into detention. In the book, Mr. Avery was the detention teacher and had no involvement in Simon's death. Simon paid students from another school to create a fender bender to remove Mrs. Avery from the room.
I was expecting this to be the same in the book as they kept hinting that the police should look into the teacher but in the end they had nothing to do with it.
# 5 Cooper's outing as gay had more significant consequences in the book. In the series, his brother and girlfriend already knew about his sexual orientation, but in the book, Cooper was completely closeted. Cooper's father's reaction was also more homophobic in the book.
I preferred Cooper’s story more in the books than in the series.
#6 Kris, Cooper's boyfriend, had a minor role in the book since Cooper was not out. In the series, Kris knew Nate and attended Cooper's baseball showcase. In the book, Kris knew Cooper was in high school and not out, leading to a temporary breakup in the series. Despite his limited role, Kris was the one who connected the dots about Simon's depression and dark suicide plot in the book.
I loved Kris in the book, but not so much on the show. I felt like their relationship overall was much healthier in the book. Once Cooper was outed he and Kris were basically hanging out with the murder club openly and I liked Kris’ involvement.
#7 Janae knew about Simon's whole plan in the book.
I liked Janae so much more in the show. In the book she knew everything and let it happen. I found it very disturbing she knew Simon was planning on this suicide mission and she try to didnt prevent it.
#8 Jake was arrested, and not killed in the book. Whereas in the show, Addy kills him when he attacked them in the forest after a party.
This is a major twist and is different from the show. Which will make watching season 2 and reading book 2 completely different experiences.
There were other small differences in the series vs the books, I couldn't keep track of all of them but one that stood out was Ashton’s presence in Addy’s life. She was around for everything. She wasn't in the series.

Karen M. Mcmanus Quote Rp Meme
[Her books include- One of us is lying, One of us is next, Nothing more to tell,Cousins, and two can keep a secret]
'It concerns me you're avoiding a promise not to murder me.”
I solemnly swear not to murder you today or at any point in the future. Deal?'”
“I know what it's like to tell yourself a lie so often that it becomes the truth.”
“I have to figure out a way to live with that, and it won't be by not forgiving other people's mistakes.”
“Things'll get worse before they get better.”
“I want to kiss her more than I want air.”
“I guess we're almost friends now, or as friendly as you can get when you're not one hundred percent sure the other person isn't framing you for murder.”
“We could be surrounded by walking dead in the zombie apocalypse and she’d look for the bright side.”
“Holding on to resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
“These murder club meetings are becoming a regular thing. We need a new name, though.”
“I don't know why it's so hard for people to admit that sometimes they're just assholes who screw up because they don't expect to get caught.”
“Unless one of us is lying. Which is always a possibility.”
“Good thing life is long and high school is short”
“love and hope and beauty still exist, even when things seem impossibly dark.”
You're doing better than me. I never stop thinking about kissing you.”
“She's a princess and you're a jock,and you're a brain. And you're a criminal. You're all walking teen-movie stereotypes.”
“I have a really strong feeling that on Wednesdays, they wear pink.”
“You find out who your real friends are when stuff like this happens. Turns out I didn’t have any…”
“I don’t understand why the world insists on stuffing kids into boxes we never asked for, and then gets mad when we won’t stay there.”
“Some people are too toxic to live. They just are.”
“Are we friends, or just a couple of people without better options?”
“We’re endgame”
“Sometimes, you don't know what you want until you see it.”
"He doesn't get to erase you from the world.”
“No matter how awful the rest of my life is, my hair still manages to look good.”
“You don’t think about what’s outside. Or who. Especially if she’s better off forgetting you exist.”
“It's not nerdy to care about fonts!”
“Welcome to life in a small town. You’re only as good as the best thing your family’s done. Or the worst.”
“You can be right in principle and still wrong in approach.”
“People who never get told no are so bad at hearing it.”
“Who do you want to be? The guy who goes along or the guy who stands up? This is the time to decide.”
“I just want to stay wrapped around him for as long as possible, fighting sleep and forgetting about the rest of the world.”
“Plenty of people get cheated on and don’t lose their minds. Take me, for example. I threw a vase at his head and moved on. That’s a normal reaction.”
"I don't need your commentary if you disagree, by the way."
“That's the kind of person you can get away with killing: someone everybody else wants dead.”
“People like to think they're open-minded, but if you toss a tired gender stereotype on their path they'll run with it every time.”
“We’re like the Kardashians, except without any money.”
“Nobody should be that good at so many different things. It doesn’t build character.”
“It means that we’ll wind up together eventually. It might take a year for us to sort everything out, or two, or ten. Whatever. But it’ll happen.”
No matter how much you care about someone, things change when they used to be around all the time an then suddenly, they're not.”
“If I'm not thinking about one shit storm, I have to think about another.”
“Everybody has secrets, that's nondebatable. The only question is whether you're keeping your own, or someone else's.”
“How do you make that choice? Between what you need and what you want?"
“She's a pain in my ass and I can't remember why I wanted to kiss her so badly a few minutes ago.”
“At this moment, I’ve never wanted to do anything as much as I want to grab his face and kiss every inch of it.”
“I’m the omniscient narrator”
“I thought you would look how you talk like a constipated gnome.”
that airhead homecoming princess turned badass ninja investigator,”
“I can’t stop thinking about how rare it is to have someone you can be completely real with, even when things get raw and uncomfortable and a little scary. Especially then.”
“Like we're some kind of hip high school murder club without a care in the world.”
“Because God, it's beautiful when that boy smiles.”
“Leave the past where it is”
“We all make mistakes, right? And almost never see the fallout coming.
“Silence falls as we get lost in our own regrets.”
“If you could be anyhwere in five years, doing anything at all, what would you pick?”
“Apparently if you’re going to bring someone in, you have to take someone out first.”
“The loneliness of that settles over my shoulders like a heavy blanket.”
“I wish he'd listen, because if anyone knows how badly you can screw up your life when you decide you're not good enough, it's me.”
“You gotta shoot your shot when it comes...Who knows if you'll get another chance?”
“Explore the magic of longhand writing. It's a lost art.”
“People get very angry when police officers are accused of a crime, but that anger is often displaced toward the accuser or the victim. The conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience is well documented.”
“Which I realize is pretty uninspiring, but so is high school dating.”
“Come on, just for an hour till we finish the movie. You can meet my lizard"
“Everyone got secrets right? What really matters is how far you’ll go to protect them”
“In the interest of full disclosure, I stole baby Jesus, and it was definitely to mess with her.”
“Here's the thing about powerhouse people: you have no idea how much they take on until they can't do it anymore.”
“I used to think about that, sometimes, when I wondered what parts of her might still be alive.”
“but if years of reading true-crime books and watching Dateline have taught me anything, it’s this: it’s always the boyfriend.”
That's not a line. I have an actual lizard. A bearded dragon named Stan.”
“You're not perfect. So what? Welcome to the real world.”
“I think the two of them are the real deal. She‘s still the one he wants. She‘ll probably always be the one he wants”
“If I ever actively chose somebody instead of just letting myself get pulled into whatever orbit will have me.”
“Sorry your mom drove her car into a jewelry store while she was high on opioids and had to go to rehab for four months.”
“or maybe we’re finally figuring out that we haven’t been normal for years and it’s time to redefine the word.”
“Well, I'd like to try. If you want to. Not because we're thrown together in this weird situation and I think you're hot, altough I do. But because you're smart, and funny, and you do the right thing more often than you give yourself credit for. I like your horrible taste in movies and the way you never sugarcoat anything and the fact that you have an actual lizard. I'd be proud to be your girlfriend, even in a nonoffical capacity while we're, you know, being investigated for murder. Plus, I can't go more than a few minutes without wanting to kiss you, so - there's that.

Ranking Karen McManus's Books
Now that One of Us is Back is released and I’ve read it, I can finally say I’ve read all of Karen McManus’s books to date! And that means, it’s time for a ranking. I did this a few months ago with the Harry Potter series and ranked the series by my top to least favorites, and I really enjoyed it. So I thought it’d be fun to do more series or just ranking books by authors I’ve read.
So here we…

Ellery and Malcolm’s relationship is so underrated. They’re predictable because they’re both the main characters, but also not I can’t explain why. But they aren’t forced or out of nowhere and they’re very cute and natural 🥺
