About this ebook

Karen M. McManus, the internationally bestselling YA thriller author of One of Us Is Lying, is back with The Cousins - you won't be able to put it down! Now in mustard yellow with a matching sprayed edge! Stock may vary.
Secrets. Lies. Inheritance. Family first - always. Right?

The Story family are the envy of their neighbours: owners of the largest property on their East Coast island, they are rich, beautiful and glamorous. Until it all falls apart. The four children are suddenly dropped by their mom with a single sentence:

You know what you did.

They never hear from her again.

Years later, when 18-year-old cousins Aubrey, Milly and Jonah Story receive a mysterious invitation to spend the summer at their grandmother's resort, they have no choice but to follow their curiosity and meet the woman who's been such an enigma their entire lives.

This summer, the teenagers are determined to discover the truth at the heart of their family. But some secrets are better left alone . . .

This book is... Wow. If you've read her previous books I seriously recommend this book and if you haven't! Read this book NOW and go back and read the others!! There are so many storylines to this book so it never gets boring. Each point of view is articulately wrote in a fun but serious manner at the same time. I love how it encorparates romance while still keeping the plot. Great praise to Karen Mcmanus who never seems to disappoint!

Another fabulous book by Karen, so many unforeseen twists that are open to interpretation and speculation throughout including at the very end. Gripping, hard to put down and an all round great read.
