A character recalls doing a few shots of vodka before having sex for the first time. If you enjoyed the plot from One of Us Is Lying, you are bound to love One Of Us Is Next as I genuinely feel it is a more surprising and enigmatic read.Teens drink at parties a few times. The plot although unpredictable is not insanity but compared to The Inheritance Games which I recently finished, it made me realise that even if some moments are lacklustre, overall everything is written with a purpose and creates drive in the novel to entice you as a reader and pushes the plot forward.
My personal gripe and this does not detract from the novel is why clothing was so specifically described when it wasn't necessary but alas, that's my personal confusion and is not a major component of the wholeness that is the plot. The plot is still oriented towards a younger audience and can be seen in its sentence structure and descriptions that I would have loved to read as a teen but as an adult kind of roll my eyes at.
Be glad you are not a student there and instead enjoy the smile this novel will bring. Your breath will not be stolen reading this but there is a satisfying conclusion to the insanity that is Bayview High. Despite a totally new cast of characters, something I personally find frustrating with in sequels as I don't read sequels for new characters, I read sequels for the same characters, there was enough of the previous ones that you were able to love the new ones. One of Us Is Next is easy to read with overly detailed descriptions pushing the plot forward and simply is worth your time because it is fun. Previous characters from One of Us Is Lying show up in the novel specifically Bronwyn as she is Maeve's older sister but overall take a backseat letting you explore new characters and their discovery of who the new Bayview victimiser is. McManus follows a "new" generation of Bayview students caught in the crossfire of a Simon-esque copycat.
