One cold fall day, high school junior Liz Emerson steers her car into a tree. This haunting and heartbreaking story is told by a surprising and unexpected narrator and unfolds in nonlinear flashbacks even as Liz's friends, foes, and family gather at the hospital and Liz clings to life. This riveting debut will appeal to fans of Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver, and 13 Reasons Why, by Jay Asher.
«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.

    Hi, it's my 12AM self writing.

    I finally came to the end and I...sincerely smiled. I held back my tears during the read. My heart pounded. But it was worth the staying up late.

    I must say this is one of the best YA books I've ever read. Some might say that this is cliché, but for me it's so beautiful. The plot is not one of a kind, I'm pretty sure I've read some books with similar background stories, but this one is different. Amy Zhang wrote it beautifully that I couldn't take my eyes off. The friendship, the self-actualization, the pure love. No plot twist at all, but as someone who usually craves for unimaginable twists, I really, really love Falling into Place.

    • Ayu Yudhahas quoted8 years ago
      Gravity is our playmate, momentum is our friend. We are blurs of motion. We are racing, and we are both winning, because we do not race each other.
      We race the world, and as fast as it rotates, as fast as it revolves, we are faster.
