Ohhhh boy was this ever bad!

I can't believe how bad this was. I'm genuinely shocked that I was able to get through the entire book. There was literally nothing about How to Fall that was enjoyable in any way, shape, or form.

Of all the very many issues that I have with this book, my biggest one is our lovely main character, Jess. She is quite possibly the worst character I've ever read in a YA novel. Every time she opens her mouth it's to say something judgmental. She slut shames every chance she gets, thinks everyone else is dumb, and for some reason believes that she's superior to all because she can quote some of the poetry that everyone is required to read in school anyways. She was insufferable! Not to mention so fucking insensitive. What right does she have to go up to people who recently lost someone they love and go "so did she kill herself or what?" What the actual fuck. Does she not see that digging around and asking all these questions is hurting people? I think it would have been different if the main character had been someone who was close to the girl who died. That would have made sense as to why she wanted answers and wouldn't stop digging until she found them. But this random ass bitch strolling into down and thinking she's entitled to everyone's life story because she's related to the girl who died? Who she never even met?? What a load of shit. The only reason Jess wouldn't let it go is because she wanted to be right, not because she actually cared about finding answers, or getting justice, or whatever other bullshit excuse she gave to other people

Anyways, don't waste your time with this book unless you really like reading garbage characters and laughably bad "plot twists," if you can ever call them that
