Thriller Psychological

Karen M. McManus, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying, is back with her first novel for adults: a thriller about a group of former college friends bound for life by a murder that continues to haunt them.

Jeremiah Brody, the guy next door.
Genevieve Frost, the It Girl.
Pax Patel, the handsome heir.
Becca Yun, the drama queen.
Aly Wright, the scholarship student.
Finn McDougal, the aspiring filmmaker.

Twelve years ago, they were the stars of Fayerweather Friends, a cult‑favorite YouTube show created by Finn. Everyone wanted to be them.

Until one of them died.

None of the Friends knows the whole truth, only the role they each played that night. For more than a decade, they have kept one another's secrets. And a killer went free.

But someone’s been waiting…someone who has evidence that could destroy them all.

If the show taught the cast anything, though, it's that they control their own stories, even the endings.

Because the truth is what you make it.
