About the Book
After her sister's murder acquittal, Amanda Pruitt visits Colorado to reunite with childhood friends and Aunt Amy, where she's drawn into an old murder case. When her friend is killed, Amanda must unravel the connection between the two murders to clear her name.Book Synopsis
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder meets Knives Out in this haunting YA thriller. To redeem herself, true crime TikToker Amanda Pruitt spends the summer in Colorado investigating a murder that seems open and shut. But when two crimes--one past, one present--intertwine, Amanda becomes the main suspect. Amanda Pruitt needs redemption. She is the one, after all, who turned her sister in for murder and anonymously broadcasted her trial to millions on TikTok. And she was wrong. Her sister is innocent, making Amanda the villain--not the hero--all along. So when her childhood best friend's mom is arrested for murdering an eccentric billionaire and refuses to give a statement, Amanda decides to help solve the crime. This could be her second chance. If she can use her TikTok to get the public on her friend's side, the police will have to reopen the investigation. The plan? Stay the summer with her aunt who is the concierge at the Summit, a historic (read: haunted) hotel in the mountains that also happens to be the scene of the crime. Investigate the billionaire's murder. Win back her estranged bestie Vince. Not the plan? See a ghost. Fall for Vince. Black out and lose 15 minutes of her life. Wake up to find the dead body of a frenemy. Amanda and Vince must work together to find the killer, or Amanda risks going down for a murder she isn't quite sure she didn't commit. Set in a possibly haunted hotel and including TikTok interstitials, this is the perfect follow up to Live Your Best Lie.Review Quotes

Jessie Weaver does it again! This was another twisty mystery that you will not want to put down! You can't help but love these characters, flaws and all, and you will probably suspect everyone at some point. The creepy haunted hotel is a fun setting too. This book will definitely keep you guessing about who did it until the very end. Another 5 star read for me! I cannot wait to read more books from this author!

Lie Until It’s True is a great YA murder mystery. This follows Amanda, a character from Jessie’s first book: Live Your Best Lie. If you plan to read Lie Until It’s true I recommend reading her first book before reading this one because it is heavily referenced. Being a mystery, I spent the majority of the time reading this trying to figure out who possibly could have been the murderer(s). I was pleasantly surprised that I was unable to figure out the mystery. One person had briefly came into my mind as a possibility, but I never locked them down as the murderer. Being from Colorado and knowing the hotel and town this book is inspired by I was easily able to picture everything, but even without having known this Jessie does a great job with her imagery. The teens this story follows seem realistic as do their responses to trauma at a young age. Really loved this and definitely recommend to anyone who likes YA Murder Mysteries!
