Who Is Simon Kelleher?

Simon Kelleher is the self-proclaimed “omniscient narrator” of Bayview High’s rumor mill. He runs a ubiquitous but reviled gossip app called About That which aggregates the juiciest gossip on campus. Simon is dead by the end of the first chapter after supposedly suffering an allergic reaction while being held in detention. The four students who were in detention with him are immediately singled out as suspects. They struggle individually and collectively to prove their innocence.

Whoever Claimed That One of Us Killed Simon Is Lying?

Simon organized a scheme and enlisted Jake, who wanted to frame Addy, before actually committing suicide. Thus, Jake can be considered to be the “one” who is lying as hinted at in the title. Since this is the novel’s reveal, it’s important to note that screenwriter Erica Saleh might have altered the conclusion and, eventually, the killer’s identity.

It’s extremely doubtful that such a crucial element and the largest narrative reveal would be altered, though.  Let’s get into the intricacies of the finale with complete spoilers for the novel. We are thrust into the world of Bayview High and meet five students in detention: Simon (played by Mark McKenna), Bronwyn (Marian Tejada), Nate (Cooper van Grootel), Addy (Annalisa Cochrane), and Cooper (Chibuikem Uche).

The other four pupils are identified as suspects when Simon dies. The reason? Simon and Janae (Jessica McLeod) created a gossip group on social media where private information about students was leaked. Fast forward to the book’s conclusion, and Cooper’s colleague, Kris, proposes that Simon may have actually committed himself in order to frame the four people who are being held for the crime.

He makes us think that his accomplice Janae might know the solutions, but she has missed a lot of schools. As a result, Addy decides to take the initiative and go to her house, where she finally admits that Simon had been struggling with his lack of popularity for years and was upset about it among his classmates.

Janae also acknowledges that Simon had staged the junior prom so that he could rule as King. Jake agreed to assist with Simon’s suicide in order to frame Addy for murder after hearing about Simon’s plan to carry it out and telling him about Addy and TJ. It turns out that Janae was going to put evidence on Addy, but she paused and put it on Nate instead.

After that, Jake starts torturing Janae while Addy tries to record this shocking admission on his phone. But as her phone rings, Jake, who had just arrived, chases her into the woods, foiling his plans. He makes an effort to kill her, but Cooper shows there to stop him. After that, Nate is released but changed as a result of his experiences, while Jake is in jail for his crimes.

While Addy is recuperating in the hospital, Ashton asks if she would be willing to move in with her. She agrees with humility. Cooper’s situation starts to improve as Bronwyn submits an application to Yale and starts dating Evan. Later, Nate resolves to make amends, and they decide to put the past behind them.

It will be fascinating to see whether the series makes any minor alterations, but given how deeply the plot is woven together, it’s probable that the reveal from the novel won’t be included.
