Have you ever started a book and thought this is going to be great read, but ended up feeling a bit meh by the end? This is how Girl Falling had me. 

Firstly, I loved the concept of exploring toxic friendships, loss and grief, and also that there was a lot of emphasis on strong female characters throughout. These were the things that drew me from the beginning and my opinions didn’t change by the conclusion.

However, the lack of depth into the characters and background made this an average read for me. I couldn’t help thinking there was something missing. Perhaps I am not the intended audience and this would be suited for those who enjoy more of a YA read? 

Over all, this is not a badly written book, it had intensity and a few twists, it just didn’t leave the impression on me that I was expecting.
