Fall for Anything

Courtney Summers's Fall for Anything has received starred reviews from several sources, and the summary  reminded me of the popular 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher.  Seventeen-year-old Eddie's father, a famous turned photographer turned recluse, has just committed suicide and her mother is left immobile with grief. Her mother's friend Beth moves in and and takes control to get Eddie's mother together, but no one takes care of Eddie who is struggling to understand why her father ended his life. She returns nightly to the abandoned warehouse where she found her father and ends up meeting Culler, her father's secret student, who shares Eddie's feelings of loss.  Culler has discovered a series of numbered photographs taken by Eddie's father and together Eddie and Culler follow the trail of clues hoping to find answers.

Fall for Anything has everything: tragedy, complex family relationships, romance, a love triangle and twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end. Luckily it was a quick read because once I started, I couldn't put this book down. I felt a little disappointed in the conclusion, but still worth the reading time.
