Sixteen-year-old Jess Tennant has never met any of her
relatives, until her mother suddenly takes her to spend the
summer in the tiny English town where she grew up. Her mom’s
decision is surprising, but even more surprising is the
town’s reaction to Jess. Everywhere she goes, people look at
her like they’ve seen a ghost. In a way, they have—she looks
just like her cousin Freya, who died shortly before Jess
came to town.
Jess immediately feels a strange connection to Freya, whom
she never got to meet alive. But the more she learns about
Freya’s life, the more suspicious the circumstances of her
death start to look. One thing is for sure: this will be
anything but the safe, boring summer in the country Jess was
expecting.
Beloved author Jane Casey breaks new ground with How to
Fall, a cleverly plotted and remarkably written young adult
mystery.
