really liked it
bookshelves: young-adult, mystery-its-a-mystery

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, is very well applied to this sequel to One of Us is Lying with the very same ingredients
- very diverse (although no African Americans) cast
- strong messaging on how women/girls should be treated
- 90210 style everyone's beautiful cast, even the outliers
- each main protagonists point of view is featured in their own chapters
- (very well done) story set in a mix of the real and digital worlds
- drama, gossip, tears and mob behaviours
- a wonderful detailed and intricate mystery to get us readers into (although nowhere as good as the first book)
- twists and turns
All in all I gotta say, that I kind of really enjoy this strangely bubblegum light young adult mystery that manages to deal with some serious 21st century issues in a an intelligent way, yet also very light-touchy overall!

These books are what they are, and they don't pretend to be anything else - they tick all the books; they're relevant; and most of all they are very entertaining (despite the bore-off romances)! Looking for a fun, engrossing read, that takes you to dark places, but won't give you nightmares? Come, join me, and read this! 8 out of 12.
