How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
Perfect for fans of dark academia, especially those who loved Pretty Little Liars!
I don't read much in the way of this genre, largely because it takes something special to hook me (I normally gravitate to fantasy) but this book had me immediately and the plot and pacing both kept me intrigued.
I didn't feel too strongly about any of the characters, but I felt like I didn't need to because the plot itself was so good. There was barely a moment in reading this to take a moment to breathe, because something was always happening! Even the flashbacks were intense.
The setting was brilliantly built. I love that it was such a high stress environment and that there was always so much going on in the background. It made the drama in the book so much more exciting and intense.
This was a really quick read for me and I really enjoyed it. But not sure I care enough about the characters to read a sequel if ever there is one. A really enjoyable read overall!
