Thank you Penguin Teen and Netgalley for an arc. Here is my honest review.
The Falling Girls felt like an honest portrayal of friendships and how toxic they can become. Even though the mysterious death of a certain cheerleader is the premise of this book, it mainly deals with codependent friendships and the lengths one will go to when they feel threatened.
Sometimes friendships in books can come off as one dimensional and fake. But the ones here were complicated; the author kept the ugliness that many friendships have.
Overall I give this book 4 1/2 stars and can’t wait to read other works from this author.
