Still, they’re shocked and saddened later by the news that Jamie has been found dead, apparently from an accidental drug overdose.
The four feel some guilt over having ejected Jamie from their circle but are secretly glad that her father’s arrest has given them a reason to distance themselves from her toxic personality. When Nancy Luo, Krystal Choi, Alexander Lin, and Akil Patel get a group text asking them to meet Jamie one afternoon, the four friends reluctantly show up only to find that Jamie has stood them up anyway. But when her wealthy businessman father was arrested for corruption, her school friends-some more sincere in their friendship than others-felt compelled to drop her, turning the queen bee into a social pariah. Whatever Jamie wanted, Jamie got, and if she had to use underhanded methods sometimes in order to secure her academic position or snag an extracurricular role, that was all fine by her.
Jamie Ruan was the fiercely ambitious, pretty, and popular queen of the highly competitive and prestigious Richard Sinclair Preparatory School. How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao is a YA debut that’s an edge-of-your-seat drama set in the pressure-cooker world of academics and image at Sinclair Prep, where a group of students is forced to confront their secrets when their ex-best friend turns up dead.
