relationships that teenagers often find themselves in. A heavy dose

themes of independence, friendships, and boundaries will speak to
teen readers. Gripping." —Booklist

all-consuming female friendships can be. Urgent and piercing, The
Falling Girls is a gut-punch of a book. Hayley Krischer’s latest
novel is not to be missed." —Jessica Goodman, bestselling author of

poignant, and tangled web of friendships set against the electric
backdrop of high school cheer. Like teen girlhood itself, the
intensity of these relationships is sometimes beautiful, sometimes
dark. Like the best thrillers, it is ultimately deadly." —Kit
Frick, author of I Killed Zoe Spanos

feminism, and friendship, The Falling Girls is a knock-your-socks
