It def reminds me lot of both 13reasons why and pretty little liars. The mystery kept me engaged. I had a hard time becoming emotional invested in most of majority of these characters because so many of them were unlikeable especially the lead. But the mystery kept me so engaged. I thought the actions of the police made me so angry but I guess I could see that happens in real life at points. I do see the theme "every action has a consquence even if you don't notice the very similar to shows like 13 reasons why. I would def read more by this author in the future. (  ) lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 |  ) cozygaminglibrarian | Dec 14, 2023 | not too satisfying as a mystery, as the investigating main character gets sidetracked a lot--I'd say this is more of a murder/suspense, though there is a big reveal at the end. (  ) reader1009 | Jul 3, 2021 | Thank you Putnam Books and Goodreads for the advanced copy! While the story was pretty unbelievable, I enjoyed the characters and their circumstances. People Like Us takes place at a boarding school with four friends who are being targeted for bullying after the murder of a student. Reminiscent of Thirteen Reasons Why, the victim punishes the girls from the grave forcing Kay to solve the murder before her secrets are publicized. With short chapters, fast pacing, and quippy dialogue this is the perfect read for a summer day! ( ) booksforbrunch | May 4, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
