Book Review 11- All Fall Down - Ally Carter

Synopsis: I don't mean to get into trouble. Trouble just sort of finds me.

Grace has been shipped off to stay with her diplomat Grandpa in the glittering Embassy Row, a place where trespassing into the wrong garden can cause an international incident. Grace knows the rules - she's ignored them before - but however much she wants to change, she can't. Not while she's certain of three things:

1. She isn't crazy.

2. Her mother was murdered.

3. Someday she's going to find the man with the scar, and then she is going to make him pay.

The Review: Okay, so firstly Ally Carter is my favorite author and I`m so proud of this book too. The plot twist was amazing, I was in tears by the time I reached the last chapter. If anything at all this book wasn't a let down. Yes, Gallagher girls was fun and better but you must see that this story is different. 

Now, in detail. Grace  or Gracie ( whom she let's only some call her by that name) is teen, staying with her grandfather who is US ambassador. So she is staying in the embassy with him and his assistant Ms. Chancellor. She strikes up a friendship with Noah Estaban, a boy whose parents are from two different embassies. Slowly, more characters step into the picture as you finish each chapter. There 38 chapters and of all these chapters the last chapter made me think twice if I was reading correctly or not. I read it twice. That particular chapter because there was so much. So take my advice and don't, not even by mistake glance at that chapter until you reach there.

Noah and Alexei are two boys who keep making sure if Grace is alright or not. Jamie is Grace's brother and asked Alexei to keep an eye on her. So, now you must be thinking there might be a love triangle here but I`m not gonna give anything away. You better not choose teams at the very beginning because through out the book Noah is very good to Grace and the first time he meets her he says :Hi, Grace. I'm Noah," he says. "I`m here to be your best friend". Where as Alexei later on, is such a gentleman to Grace, you can't help feeling like he is THE ONE for her,

But again, don't jump to conclusions. You'll be disappointed. Grace wants to catch her mother's killer and make him pay. Sounds exciting doesn't it? Well, it is. Just don't expect girls in uniforms or gorgeous thieves like Hale to make an appearance, because they don't and yet you can't pull away from the book.

Grace's appearances and excuses did make a laugh here and there but the end was heart breaking. First of all the girl watched her mother die three years ago and then had to undergo treatments and take medication, which sucks.

So, in this book, you have a confused yet determined teen-her oddly amazing friends-girl feuds- an angry yet loving grandpa-the charming boy next door-a best friend-a killer-a protector- a twist-the bitter truth and A SEQUEL COMING SOON!

Do yourself a favor and buy this book. I`ll review the Gallagher Series soon, after I read it again because it is a series of 5 novels.

My Favorite Lines/Quotes

Anger is far easier emotion than guilt.

It's a terrible thing to realize you've been living a lie. 

The drama never ends.
