![]() ![]() Seems extreme, but what is a YA thriller without its extreme acts? I don’t want to spoil anything, but essentially they bury Cole’s body, along with their old phones, with recorded confessions on them. The friends, Grayson, Holly, and Logan, are panicked by Cole’s abuse and threats and decide one night that they’ve gotta murder Cole for themselves and Meeka. Basically Cole is an alt right loose cannon, who has threatened to kill Meeka, his ex, and their small group of friends. A story with a (justifiable?) murder, a digital resurrection, and a gaggle of anxious teenagers. Have you ever read a story with a cast of characters that are each flawed and unlikable in their own way, and they’ve also done something incredibly heinous, but you’re oddly rooting for them anyway? Yeah. There’s always a story behind things, but the stories get buried. But every terrible joke has one thing in common, the same photo–a screenshot from the confession video still entombed six feet under with Cole. ![]() It’s a stupid meme, old school and not even funny. The failsafe should any one of them consider betrayal: their old phones, buried with Cole, disconnected from service, and each wiped clean except for one file–their video confession.Īs expected, no one misses Cole. Now, Logan, Meeka, Holly, and Grayson are forever bound by Cole’s body, buried under the cold Vermont earth. ![]() So it was only logical–only right, really–that his former friends took it upon themselves to rid the world of Cole Weston. A loner without friends or family and an unhealthy obsession with the darker corners of the internet, Cole had become increasingly violent toward his ex-girlfriend, and threated to do so much worse. For fans of One of Us Is Lying, a tense, psychological thriller for the internet age about the destructive combination of self-important goals and self-serving plans. ![]()
