I don't really remember why this book took my attention when I first saw it.
I still don't know, but for some reason I'm really excited about Falling into Place, it sounds quite morbid and... sad. I never read anything by Amy Zhang, but I'll be reading this one soon!
Expected publication:
September 9th 2014
by Greenwillow Books
On the day Liz
Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton’s laws of motion in
physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running
her Mercedes off the road.
Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High’s most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn’t understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn’t understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect?

Amy Zhang’s haunting
and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman,
and Jay Asher.
Wow, I hadn't heard about this one before but it sounds super interesting! I think I'm adding this one to the TBR list!
