Ilustration In Favor Of Books Falling into Place
Inertia, force, mass, gravity, velocity, acceleration... cause and effect. Liz Emerson doesn't understand any of it. But I do. I understand how we fall. Where we fall. Why we fall. I understand her sadness and loneliness and silence, her shattered heart. It doesn't have to be this way, does it? It wasn't always this way, was it? Stay alive, Liz Emerson, stay alive. On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton's laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road. Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? The nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High's most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn't understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn't understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang's haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher.Rating Containing Books Falling into Place

I am not going to rate this book as Ms. Zhang was only in her mid teens when this was published !!Warm congratulations on this remarkable feat. It is clear from reading this book that Ms. Zhang is highly creative, intelligent and has the potential to be a wonderful writer. The question I have is will Ms. Zhang be content to churn out adequate chick-lit or YA (where she will likely earn more money) or strive towards becoming an award winning literary author. Selfishly I hope for the latter !I was so torn on rating this one. While I truly enjoyed the writing and the depth of the story itself is incredible, I really did not like the main character. I realize she is a character we're not supposed to like, per se. She's not likeable, period. But contrary to many books I've read with unlikeable characters (Courtney Summers' Some Girls Are come to mind), I never got to the point where I "got" her despite it all. She never learned, she never wanted to change, it was like she figured she
This was a really interesting book that I think evokes a lot of feelings. Liz Emerson held so much darkness within her that closing her eyes didn't make much of a difference at all.I really enjoyed this book. The writing was really well done, especially the narration. The reader doesn't know who's narrating the story until the very end but there are hints throughout the book of who it is. Honestly, I was bit disappointed about who the real narrator was. I was expecting this huge reveal and by
Please note: this book deals with a lot of triggers including suicide, depression, and drug use, please be aware of this before picking up Falling into Place!I decided to write a review on this book because when I finished it, I honestly had no idea how I really felt about it... at all. First things first, I have to say how much I loved Amy Zhang's writing style. I know I say this all the time, so if you've been dedicated and have read all my reviews, you'll know this, but I really am not a fan
Fuck.This book. THIS BOOK. I was on the fence when I started it. I liked it, but I didnt like like it. The writing style is a little confusing in the beginning, it switches a lot between the present, the past, the even older past, and different POVs. So until you familiarize with it, it can be confusing and a little off-putting. But once that happensman. This struck deep with me. Its absolutely beautifully written. Its like poetry, the really good kind, you know? It resonates with you and it
This and other reviews can be found on The Psychotic Nerd MY THOUGHTS I went into this book fully knowing that I would cry, and cry I did. I cried tears of sadness, because this book is so sad for every character, but this book was also so raw and beautiful.Liz Emerson tries to take her own life by driving her car off the road. She miscalculates and ends up in the hospital in critical condition and will most likely survive the night. Throughout this book we get to see the perspectives of her
Mental illness does not discriminate. Men struggle with anorexia and binge eating disorder, women face Cluster A personality disorders, and people of color experience depression, amongst other mood-related sicknesses. Amy Zhang highlights the unfair ubiquity of suicide in her debut novel Falling into Place. Liz Emerson, our protagonist, bullies people, has bulimia, acts as a fierce friend, lost her father at a young age, and she tries to kill herself by running her Mercedes off the road. We get
