“It’s moving, thrilling, spot-on and incredibly well-written. The Fallout by Moa Herngren is a phenomenally well-written relationship novel told from different perspectives, where each character owns their truth and their experiences. The intrigue awakens so many emotions. I find myself frustrated, annoyed and anxious. Herngren is exceptionally sharp at portraying frictional relationships and behaviors that are both relatable and your worst nightmare. (…) For me, it was a binge-read. It’s the fourth stand-alone installment in the unforgettable perspective-series; novels that works perfectly to read and discuss alongside others. I love them all!”

Yet Moa Herngren does it. Read it at your own risk. /…/ A highly well-written, incessantly gripping and nightmarishly relatable study of female friendship.”
