“One of Us Is Lying” is not going to go down in history as one of the great American novels, but it is a genuinely fun mystery novel with a dash of teenage romance thrown in. While I devoured this novel in one sitting, I couldn’t help but feel like a teenager again; giddy at the romantic bits and hopeful for a happy ending. I did enjoy the mystery element of the story, and while the ending was on my radar about midway through, the author threw in enough red herrings to keep me unsure throughout. I will say that one negative about this book is the whole Bronwyn’s half Colombian thing. It seems as though her father was only made Colombian to add a dash of color to the book, but her mother was made Caucasian lest it be unbelievable that Bronwyn was born the picture of Caucasian beauty. I would have preferred if Bronwyn would have been fully Colombian, or if any of the other characters were made to be POC. That way it would feel less like Bronwyn was the token POC in the story. Otherwise, I thought this book was wonderfully entertaining and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to escape for a little while.
