A taut she said/she said that will leave you guessing until the last page. I truly thought I had this one all figured out and I was wrong!

Daphne and Finn have been friends since high school, bonding over the tragic deaths of their younger sisters. But now that Finn is an adult in a serious, committed relationship with her new girlfriend Madgu, she's beginning to realize her relationship with Daphne is a bit...toxic.

So when Madgu tragically dies on a hike and Daphne is the only other person at the top of the mountain with her, Finn starts to second guess a lot of things about her close friend.

This was a short but powerful read about the power of secrets and trauma bonding.

I can't explain to you how much I liked this book. So I hope the rating speaks for me. Thank you so much for the arc and this book will be on my shelf when it comes out.

In the gripping novel "Girl Falling," the protagonist Finn's world shatters when her girlfriend dies during a rock climbing adventure with her best friend, Daphne. Throughout the book, Finn struggles to make sense of the tragedy in a way that she can live with. We learn about Finn and Daphne's lifelong toxic friendship, her relationship with girlfriend Magdu, and the tension among all three through flashbacks.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't put it down. After reading it in one sitting and continuously being wrong about my assumptions, I recommend this novel to all those looking for an exhilarating read! Special thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron for the ARC.
