The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe
4.0
ARC provided by Netgalley
The Way We Fall is a realistic look at what could happen if a deadly and rapidly spreading virus takes over. Set on a small island, the effects of the virus are devastating to the community. But the author's focus is on the life of one young girl, Kaelyn. The story is told entirely through her letters to her estranged best friend Leo (though it reads more like a series of journal entries). Kaelyn is a likeable character and the format of storytelling worked for me. Several reviewers mentioned a slow start, but I didn't notice. I was hooked from the beginning. I look forward to reading other books in the series (I've heard they're coming). I will definitely recommend The Way We Fall to my students and this one is a future purchase for me.
