How We Fall Apart is the irresistible, addicting, Asian-American recast of Gossip Girl that we’ve all been waiting for. Katie Zhao’s YA debut is an edge-of-your-seat drama set in the pressure-cooker world of academics and image at Sinclair Prep, where the past threatens the future these teens have carefully crafted for themselves.

Soon, Nancy suspects that her friends may be keeping secrets from her, too. The four must uncover the true killer before The Proctor exposes more than they can bear and costs them more than they can afford, like Nancy’s full scholarship. Now, somehow the Proctor knows them, too. They all used to be Jamie’s closest friends, and she knew each of their deepest, darkest secrets. Nancy is even more shocked when word starts to spread that she and her friends-Krystal, Akil, and Alexander-are the prime suspects, thanks to "the Proctor," someone anonymously incriminating them via the school’s social media app.

Nancy Luo is shocked when her former best friend, Jamie Ruan, top-ranked junior at Sinclair Prep, goes missing, and then is found dead. In a YA thriller that is Crazy Rich Asians meets One of Us is Lying, students at an elite prep school are forced to confront their secrets when their ex-best friend turns up dead.
