When the Seoul police inform Min that his successful, ambitious, and happy girlfriend Yu-jin has committed suicide, he is sure that it can't be true. As Min searches for answers about his girlfriend's mysterious death, he begins to realize the Yu-jin's life was much more complex than she chose to reveal . . .
A suspenseful tale that untangles the complicated ties that bind families together, or break them apart, When We Fell Apart is a fraught exploration of selfhood, coming-of-age, and family expectations that poses powerful, urgent questions about cultural identity, familial bonds, secrets, and what it truly means to belong.
"Wiley is a master of structure and pacing, with a gift for ending chapters at their most gripping moments, which gives this quiet, mournful novel the page-turning quality of a thriller." -- Washington Post
