How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao
3.0
Honestly, that's one of the few instances where it's me and not the book. I think I set my expectations too high.
I wouldn't call the book a complete letdown, since I enjoyed most of it. The characters were very interesting, as well as the story. Even though I can't identify with the story at all, I still think that the author did an amazing job of showing the high expectations of the school and sociality as an American Asian, and it's this kind of representation that makes the novel worth reading.
The revelation was a small surprise to me, I didn't think they would be the protector, so I was quite happy that it wasn't the one that I had on my mind. And like I said, the book wasn't bad, but I would have liked to see more murder and mystery.
Since the end was an open end, I hope that we can get a second book because I would honestly love to see more of the story.
