13 Chilling Quotes from One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus - Now on Netflix!

Recently adapted into a hugely popular Netflix series, One of Us is Lying sucks viewers into an addictive murder mystery story featuring four high school aged suspects, after one of their classmates mysteriously dies in detention at the beginning of the semester. Based on a book that published in 2018, the series hurtles through the twists and turns of a murder investigation as we try to figure out who killed Simon, and consequently, who is lying.

Here are 13 of the best quotes from Karen M. McManus’ bestselling young adult novel, One of Us is Lying.

‘I know what it's like to tell yourself a lie so often that it becomes the truth.’

‘I guess we're almost friends now, or as friendly as you can get when you're not one hundred percent sure the other person isn't framing you for murder.’

‘You find out who your real friends are when stuff like this happens. Turns out I didn’t have any…’

‘I don't know why it's so hard for people to admit that sometimes they're just assholes who screw up because they don't expect to get caught.’

‘Some people are too toxic to live. They just are.’

‘That's the kind of person you can get away with killing: someone everybody else wants dead.’

‘We could be surrounded by walking dead in the zombie apocalypse and she’d look for the bright side.’

‘Like we're some kind of hip high school murder club without a care in the world.’

‘It concerns me you’re avoiding a promise not to murder me’

‘Everyone got secrets right? What really matters is how far you’ll go to protect them.’

‘There are some things you can't undo no matter how good your intentions are.’

‘You're not perfect. So what? Welcome to the real world.’

‘No matter how awful the rest of my life is, my hair still manages to look good.’
