I didn‘t dislike this book but didn‘t love it much either. YA novel about a girl whose life has gone completely off the rails who doesn‘t know how to ask for help getting it back, tackling some very difficult issues. I appreciated the friendships at the heart of it and the issues it confronted but I wasn‘t that into it and didn‘t connect with the characters that much. It didn‘t feel like the type of YA that works for people of all ages really.
"Falling into Place" is a sad story which tackles some difficult subjects, from bullying to drug use to suicide. It's certainly not a happy read and is quite emotional at times. Unfortunately this book wasn't for me, I couldn't connect with the main character and this seriously affected how I felt about the whole thing - 1 star.
My full review is up on my blog now ?
I read a lot of YA...mostly so I can recommend books to my students. This story about a girl whose life has gone completely off the rails (mostly because of her own poor choices) wasn't great.
A very realistic portrayal of a teenager with depression.

Started this short contemporary last night and I'm almost done. It's an interesting story and I am curious to see how it ends.
Good, but very emotional. Despite all her faults, I especially liked Liz's character. The only thing I had a problem with was how there was no good person in the school except Liam- everyone, even the background characters mentioned once, had huge issues. Still, it's worth a read.
Quote from the book Falling into Place. It's very high on my #TBR list. If there's an audible for it, I'll probably read it next.

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? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect?

For this last picture, I just wanted to show off some of my books in green-blue hues because they're my favorite colors. I rarely go a day without wearing something that's blue. I can't help it!
What color do you wear most? And do you have a preferred color for your books?

A good, but very emotions read, dealing with some very difficult topics.
She would be an object in motion that would stay in motion, even if it meant flattening everything in her path.
This isn't on my TBR, but it is definitely a book title that could describe my life. Recently I've been feeling as if everything is just falling into place, and I'm really starting to discover who I am. #24in48
It was a good novel based on loneliness and people's perceptions of others are never what they seem to be. The main character of this story was having to deal with eating disorder and depression.
She cannot bear to catch fireflies in jars. She hates zoos. She will not let her father teach her about constellations, because she will not trap the stars.
She lives in a world made entirely of sky.
