The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes !!
I'll add it to my tbr!
I think One Of Us Is Lying also falls into this but im not sure
I think the genre is YA murder mystery
I've been wondering if it's just that I've read all of the good ones or if I'll love the ya mystery genre overall. Tbh I've never heard of any others.
The Naturals is really excellent in terms of characterization, world building, descriptions, plot, solvability/misdirection... it could be read as tell-not-show in parts but it fits the POV character. My only real critique of it is its unfairly stigmatizing in the way it uses mental illness-related terms/concepts at times (though again, fits the character)
Have you read any Karen McManus yet?
I was underwhelmed by One of Us Is Lying. What are your thoughts?
I agree with you!!From the hype thought It would be...more if you get what I mean
Totally!! There was all this build up (partially coz of the hype ofc) and then the reveal had me going oh, that's it??
I just went to your profile and saw that we have 0% overlap. That is so unusualš
Loool I guess we are complete oppositesš
