About the Book
One of Us Is Lying meets Lord of the Flies meets Fyre Fest in this wickedly addictive and funny YA thriller.
Rafi Francisco needs something really special to put her true crime podcast on the map. She sets her sights on River Stone, the hearthrob musician who rose to stardom after the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend. Rafi lands herself a ticket to the exclusive Fly Fest, where River will be the headliner.
But when Rafi arrives on the Caribbean island location of Fly Fest with hundreds of other influencers and (very minor) celebrities, they quickly discover that the dream trip is more of a nightmare. And it’s not just confronting beauty gurus-gone-wild and spotty WiFi. Soon, Rafi goes from fighting for an interview to fighting for her life. And, as she gets closer to River, she discovers that he might be hiding even darker secrets than she suspected . . .
This book was quite a story. I'm not familiar with "Lord of the Flies" but I'm definitely aware of the incident that the book was inspired by. This book was a pretty fast read. Tool me a bit to get into it but after I got the voice of the main protagonist down and all the people who bathe interacted with, it didn't took long for me to just find the entire thing funny and nodding my head often. The stuff that some of these people were doing was just over the top and it was quite a turn of events. Definitely pokes fun at social media and the whole "influencer" concept, which still I have no idea what that actually means.
It was a 7/10 for me. The gifts were really nice and I was satisfied with the box.
