How We Fall Apart
by Katie Zhao
Not bad, but a little disappointing overall.
The blurb described this as ‘One of Us is Lying meets Crazy Rich Asians’, but to me it felt more Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars.
The central premise was good, but it never felt like it quite came together. The characters keep talking about ‘The Incident’, and although it IS significant, the reveal feels kind of underwhelming. I was expecting something much worse.
The ‘secrets’ of each of the four main characters are largely underwhelming too. (Bar one, who was one of the most interesting characters imo, and deserved more page time.) Then again, I’m reading this as a 30-something adult. If you were reading this as a teen, maybe it would seem more dramatic.
I enjoyed the writing itself, and it was an easy read, but not one I’d go back to. I just didn’t care enough about the characters at the end of the day.
