There was no real education on bipolar and the mother was given so many negative traits. One of the character’s mother also has bipolar and whilst I’m not bipolar I felt like it was handled really poorly. There was a ton of misogony – the words “ slut” and “ bitch” are mentioned a lot and not in a reclaimed positive context. I did guess the “twist” early on, but I was still kept interested enough to want to see how it all ended. Every time a chapter ended I instantly wanted to keep reading the next one. One of Us is Lying is very fast paced and I found it so hard to put down. Whilst I did enjoy certain characters more than others (Ads was my favourite) each one was more than just their main attribution. In my opinion, what this book did get right is the multiple points of view. Each character being defined to a single trope could spell disaster, but I think Karen M. Murder One of Us is Lying had all my checkmarks for a potential new favourite book: Trigger warnings: suicide, homophobia, abuse, bipolar Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
