![]() ![]() Every time Peter is mentioned, thought about, or remembered, Nancy slips into a kind of, "well, he's so hot, so it is all justified" trance. Most troubling, however, is how the novel depicts the inappropriate student-teacher relationship between Nancy and Peter. There's just one very brief scene of someone confronting racist behavior. The cast is diverse, but there's no theme or thread that involves race, gender, sexuality, or class on a deep level. The character development in How We Fall Apart is thin, too. And the mystery Gossip Girl-like social media plot driver seems a bit too familiar. The structure of this thriller provides a decent platform for revealing secrets, but most of the thrills are shallow. ![]()
