Amy Zhang writes young adult contemporary fiction about depression, friendship and teenagers dealing with the consequences of choices that cannot simply be reversed. Falling into Place begins after popular student Liz Emerson deliberately crashes her car, then moves backwards and sideways through the relationships, bullying and private despair that led to the act. This Is Where the World Ends follows former best friends Janie and Micah around a party, a fire and memories that one of them can no longer fully access. The books use fragmented timelines and multiple perspectives rather than straightforward issue-novel structures. Readers are most likely to encounter this work under contemporary YA, mental-health fiction, friendship drama and nonlinear coming-of-age. Read more Less
