It has elements of some of our favorite shows of the past-other than the shows I’ve already mentioned, it also reminded me a bit of Pretty Little Liars and 13 Reasons Why-but it was really a fresh take on YA thriller that was not predictable or overdone.

You can stream all eight episodes of One of Us Is Lying on Peacock now. There is also a sequel to the book, so I’m hoping that means more seasons of the TV show. I would highly recommend doing both because it’s so fun to compare details and see the characters you fell in love with while reading come to life on screen. One of Us Is Lying is an excellent show, but I enjoyed the experience even more because I read the book as well. Although this story takes place in high school, it also has elements of recent “adult” mystery/thrillers that we have all loved, such as Only Murders in the Building and Nine Perfect Strangers. I just love the drama and slight cheesiness that they have to offer, so no, I will not be moving on from the category any time soon. I’ve talked about it before, but I’ll say it again: Even at 25 years old, I simply cannot get enough of books, TV shows, and movies in the Young Adult genre.
