2.5
dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I had heard some mixed opinions about Apples Never Fall. I started reading with an open mind, as I love a good mystery; this one moves so damn slow though! ANF comes from the perspective of more than seven different people, so I feel like I never could REALLY get to know each of the characters. I never really found myself wanting to read this after I put it down. While I thought the characters were fairly relatable, I didn’t feel compelled to care about them. Honestly, I was feeling this would be a 3.5 star book until I got to the ending, and then it easily dropped to a 2.5 for me. I ended this book feeling extremely underwhelmed after 464 pages of meh. I’m not saying that everyone is going to dislike this one, but I do finally get why people said you either love it or you hate it 🤷🏼‍♀️
