Happiness Falls by Angie Kim

3.0

3.75 ⭐️ absolutely loved the characters (except the detective but i’m pretty sure that was the author’s intention), liked the narration and mix of philosophy with storytelling, and only kind of liked the actual plot of the story. i think i was expecting it to be heavier on the mystery and less about the dynamics of the family which set me up to feel underwhelmed at some points. but, i really, really loved the depiction of ASD and neurodiversity and the way in which Mia and her family’s perspectives of Eugene changed and developed. don’t read if you hate reading about the pandemic, though
