#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying comes your next obsession. You'll never feel the same about family again.
Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they've never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they're surprised . . . and curious.
Their parents are all clear on one point--not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious--and dark--their family's past is.
The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over--and this summer, the cousins will learn everything.
Fans of the hit thriller that started it all can watch the secrets of the Bayview Four be revealed in the One of Us is Lying TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Even the most toxic families seem cute compared to this disturbing clan. YA phenomenon Karen McManus introduces us to Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah, three cousins who each get a mysterious letter from Mildred Story—the fabulously wealthy grandmother they’ve never met—inviting them to her luxurious Massachusetts island for the summer. She disinherited their parents without warning or reason years before, so antennas are definitely up, but nothing could prepare the teens for the dark family secrets that their strange visit will reveal. McManus has a knack for dialogue and uses it to pull us into the story, making it feel like we’re watching real people in real time, even when she flips perspectives, switches time lines, and starts letting the shocking surprises really drop. Does this chilling family drama cascade into a full-on, high-stakes thriller? By the time the cousins know the answer, it could be too late.

At first… I was a bit skeptical about the book. But then i got intrigued by it. I tend to always lean towards books that have the ending you don’t expect, which i honestly loved!
