Karen Mcmanus and Kara Thomas are my favorite authors and were my first read authors. Karen McManus one of us is lying was my first and two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.. and Kara Thomas' The Cheerleaders and it got me to read Kara's other books such as Little Monsters and The Darkest Corners. I just bought we were liars and people like us. we seem to have similar mystery (murder mystery) im going to try and read these.
Thank you for this! I used to read mystery novels when I was a kid (i.e. boxcar children and Nancy drew) and now I'm in my mid 20's wanting to find some mystery books again but not wanting the really scary horror type stuff, just a good wholehearted mystery! This was so helpful, I wouldn't have even thought to look at YA mysteries... heading to the library today! Thank you!!
when i first read we were liars, i was way younger (like middle school) and the twist caught me so off guard! now after rereading it as a high schooler, i agree with you about it being pretty obvious! thank you for these recommendations can’t wait to pick some up!
also, i saw this video is around a year old so did you ever read monday’s not coming? i read that one a bit ago and the ending shocked me and i still think of it all the time!
Great video! 😃 I love The Naturals series and Truly Devious. I'm really excited to look into the rest of these recs, especially The Agency, (I love a good four book series 😁).
You should read the similars by Rebecca Hanover! It also comes with a sequel the pretenders! It’s so interesting and under rated, I think you’d really injoy it!
I read The Naturals and I was so ready to read her next book Killer Instinct but the second book became a dnf of mine. I felt like it was a story that was dragging on for a really long time and I couldn’t stay interested
It's been a while, so I'd say go take a look at Goodreads to be sure, but there is frank on page discussion of abortion and self-harm. Those are the ones I remember
I love reading YA thrillers. I like how they are usually more fast-paced. Anyways, I didn’t like One of Us Is Lying too :( Mainly because l find the reveal quite disappointing.
YESSS one of us is lying is the best mystery book ever!!! I’m so in love with nate and bronwyn’s relationship. I wish for a book more about them 🥰
So glad you enjoyed it!
I agree!!
when i was reading it i spoiled it for myself it seemed like the perfect mystery i would have never guessed i got so upset lol 😭
Yes it’s what got me back into reading
One of us is lying is still my number 1... And we were liars hit me hard .
The Naturals series is the BEST series out there! I love them!

I know this might be annoying but I Just love your lipstick shade! I’ve seen it in several of your videos. Could we know what it is? Thank you again!
Haha thanks! It's been a long time, so not totally sure... I'd guess Aria by Stila?
I read The Naturals and I was so ready to read her next book Killer Instinct but the second book became a dnf of mine. I felt like it was a story that was dragging on for a really long time and I couldn’t stay interested
Ah, see, just proving once again that different books work for different readers... cuz book #2 was my fav! :D
Thanks for sharing
Love this video! Are there any trigger warnings that you know of in the Cheerleaders?
It's been a while, so I'd say go take a look at Goodreads to be sure, but there is frank on page discussion of abortion and self-harm. Those are the ones I remember
Read good girl guides to murder 😍😍😍😍
how come no one ever talks about the cherub series?? teen secret agents that work for the british secret services! fav book series ever!!
We were liars was the first book that got me into reading
That's awesome! I know so many people love it
did you recommend the book “trouble is a friend of mine”? I read it (i thought because of your recommendation😅 but now i can’t find where)
Sorry, that wasn't me... but I'm glad you found a book you loved!!
bookslikewhoa 😅😂ayaaa that’s what i get for putting booktube on in place of music or podcasts
Lol I thought the title was “where to start with ya mysteries” 😂 I knew this wasn’t your style of writing 🙃

Yeah, I just felt like it was super blah. But people love it so.... who knows?? :D
I was finding for such a comment, I totally agree the ending wasn't satisfying at all
