Book Review: One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Did I like "One Of Us Is Lying" or not?

Genre: Fiction/Murder Mystery

Let me tell you the story first.
This is a story of Bayview High School. In which five students are kept in detention.
Brownyn: Disciplined Girl
Nate: Bad Guy
Addy: Beautiful Girl
Cooper: Football Player
Simon: Creator of the Gossip App
Now, Simon knew everyone's secrets.
Students were worried about this because Simon was going to post it.
But then suddenly Simon died. Now, the remaining students are the suspects who were kept in detention along with him.

(If you don't want any spoilers, don't proceed further...)
This book was good.
It kept me hooked up and didn't let my curiosity subside until the end of the book.
When I discovered Cooper's secret, I didn't like him. It destroyed my interest. He didn't really know who to love.
I liked Nate's character very much but he, Ohh God, destroyed all my hopes in the End.
Other than this, the chapters were interesting. I liked the structure of the chapters. I enjoyed how each chapter is dedicated to a different student's perspective allowing us to see the story unfold through their viewpoints.
Overall 4 out of 5.

Love ya all... ❤️

I Started Journaling and It Quietly Changed Everything

Why You Should Start Journaling Writing about your weekly progress can help a lot. A teacher once told my class: “Write your progress somewhere and ask yourself if you’ve actually grown.” I didn’t take it seriously at first, but I still started writing — and now it’s been two years . And honestly, the best part wasn’t the writing… It was reading my past self . What Makes Journaling Special? There are things in life we can’t share publicly — even with people we trust the most. But a journal is different: Nobody is judging you You can be completely honest You can write things you’ll never say out loud You can expose your weaknesses without fear It’s yours — private. How I Started I didn’t start journaling to “track progress” or “be productive.” I just wrote what was happening: How my tests went How people treated me Why they behaved a certain way What I was feeling It became a space where I could say anything — without being misunderstood. No one was judg...

Let the Man Cry

It’s okay to let it out. You’re safe here — with yourself, your thoughts, and your truth. As a man myself, I understand that society has presented men as someone who must be strong — both physically and mentally. We are seen as people who, when we cry, somehow become weak. And yes, sometimes others might treat us differently when we do. The society made me believe that crying makes you weak. I used to think that too… but now I realize it’s this very mentality that makes you weak. But I guess crying doesn’t make you weak. It actually helps regulate your emotions — the feelings you’ve buried deep in your heavy heart. Some of us might have never cried in our lives, or maybe we’ve even forgotten how. But I guess… it’s time to let your tears fall in your safe space. And by safe space , I don’t mean another person. I mean yourself . Because you are the only one who has seen your ups and downs. You are the one who understands yourself the most. You are the one who will n...

Book Review: Verity by Colleen Hoover

Verity Colleen Hoover 5 of 5 stars Genre: Thriller/Romance/Mystery The story of the book is as follows...... Jeremy Crawford husband of Verity Crawford (best-selling author) invites Lowen Ashleigh (an average struggling author) to complete her wife’s remaining work in a series that she couldn’t complete because she was injured. When Lowen reaches Crawford's house she starts to get through years of Verity's work to first understand which tone and style she uses in her books. After finding her autobiography, in which she has written everything about herself and how her life changed, which Verity wrote for herself, she began reading it too. As she continues reading it, the intensity of her terrors and curiosity grows as she goes through the chapters one by one. This was my first Miss Collen book. It gave me chills while reading it and I completed it within two days. This was pretty fast for me. Recommended for everyone interested in Romance, Mystery and Thrill...
