One of us is next- Karen M. Mc Manus

-

 

The highly acclaimed novel One of is lying is followed by its close competitor i.e One of us is next and it just does not disappoint! It has hardly been 18 months since the tragic death of Simon Kelleher and Bayview has just settled back into normal life when another death occurs. 
Despite claiming so many lives with gossip, seems like Bayview High does not learn from its mistakes. Since Simon's death, a lot of copy-cat gossip apps have come up and have forced the high school authorities into suspending various students. A no-phone warning does not shake up Bayview High and they go on gossiping incessantly but none of the apps seem to fill the void left by Simon's brilliant app, About That. 
Until one day another gossip app comes up and it comes with its facts in line. The rules are different this time. You take Dare and you are safe to go (maybe even a hero). You choose Truth, you're doomed anyway. You fail to choose either, your secret is out!

Phoebe, a beautiful and self-confident girl, is the first target and oh well, it gets real ugly for her. 
Maeve Rojas, the smart computer hacker is next and hopefully makes the right choice by taking Dare, until she doesn't. 
Knox Myers, Maeve's skinny ex and current best friend is unfortunately, collateral damage.  

As the game includes more and more people, the dares become excessively dangerous. Inevitably, there is another tragic death at Bayview High. 
Will Phoebe, Maeve and Knox learn anything from the Bayview Four or will their lives also end up damaged and ruined? Can they really rely on the police or the school authorities for help and protection? Are people truly what we perceive them to be? 

Personally, the sequel really steps up and has an ending that does not disappoint. The amount of mystery and adventure the characters go through really makes it difficult to put the book down.

The Secret History- Donna Tartt

  In the age of the internet and the ever-increasing influence of social media in our lives, every once in a while the reader in me finds herself picking up a book that was unsurprisingly recommended to me through "Tik-Tok" exported reels. She goes to a bookstore with utter and all-embracing faith in the opinion of an individual living hundreds of miles away and usually, it ends badly for her.  The Secret History is a well-known celebrity on the internet which, unfortunately, did end badly for me. It starts off with the narrator Richard Pappin describing the one and the only story he can ever tell- the story of how Bunny got murdered. When Richard lands in Vermont, a thickly forested State in the northeastern United States, his attention is caught by a group of eccentric individuals obsessed with Greek and the riches of their respective families. Soon our narrator finds himself lying his way to become a part of something that ultimately leads him to be partly responsible for

Blue Sisters- Coco Mellors

  Sisterhood in all its forms and glory has been my north star. Obviously, the universe decided not to give me a sister as a sibling yet sisterhood finds its roots in the most other-worldly relationships. But if I am actually being honest, sisterhood is also tiring. Being a "girls girl" requires empathy and sacrifice and a perpetual positive outlook on the circumstances life happens to throw at you which in my candid opinion, is not my cup of tea. Furthermore, if I am actually traversing the path of candidness and deadpan hilarity, the universe also decided not to humor me with the gift of an all-encompassing and enriching female friendship thereby leading to this defeatist attitude.  Emotional vomit aside, Blue Sisters was my attempt at sisterhood, one step towards my north star in order to simply understand and for once, enjoy the ever-giving love that popular culture said sisterhood brings with itself. And boy, was I let down again (haha, bi*ch).  I love Mellors for the wo

Cleopatra and Frankenstein- Coco Mellers

  A reading slump often plagues one's life numerous times and a catchy title with a beautiful cover as this book is probably one that gets you out of it. A book reader unknowingly (knowingly for that matter) always has certain standards to judge a book and obviously, Sally Rooney set those for me. And to my sheer surprise (and extreme joy) Coco Mellors has done a brilliant job with her writing and characters. Cleo and Frank are funnily, two people who had similar experiences as children mostly characterized by absent parents and a traumatizing childhood but they are different in age and behavior. One would say age is just a number, but when Cleo, a British artist, marries Frank who is twenty years older than her and a man of success, things take a turn for the bad. I have to be honest, you really have to put some stereotypical notions on your side table as you turn the pages of the book. The story brings out the characters in Cleo and Frank's life and the tumultuous consequence
