Rules of Falling
by
by
A fascinating insight into the experience of a student with a chronic disease. Erica has syncope, which means she can faint for no reason. She’s got used to these absences over time, but as she gets older and starts to think about college, her condition feels more of a restriction.
Her best friend has, for years, supported her. Unfortunately, the relationship between them comes under pressure when Erica learns Lindsay has fallen for an older, married, man. The tension between them brews.
As we watch their relationship unravel it’s hard to tell whether Erica’s misgivings are caused by concern for her friend or whether there’s something to the feeling. Erica comes to rely on Adam, Lindsay’s ex, as she tries to support her friend…while looking for answers.
Things build to a dramatic climax, one which took us in quite a different direction to that expected.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to offer my thoughts on this in exchange for an advance copy.

"Opening two chapters establish what a big deal this condition is. She seems to be managing pretty well given the potential problems. I’m supposing we will see how things develop as one chapter moves to an end."

"Hadn’t realised just how I’d raced through this. Her friend’s interest in the father is creepy, but I’m struggling to see why she believes him linked to the fires."
