I honestly don't have a lot that I can say about this book without ruining the mystery of it. What I can say is that the story is fast-paced, and it definitely keeps you guessing. The characters are really well done, and they each have quirks, and reasons to suspect them. I was definitely on the edge of my seat during Take the Fall, ready to get to the end and find out the truth. 
 Sonia and Gretchen have been best friends for a long time. Sonia is the shy and quiet, friendly one. Gretchen is loud and outspoken, used to getting her way. But there is a darker side of Gretchen that we slowly see come to light during the story, You can't help feeling sorry for Sonia, but there are times when you want to shake her; make her stand up and do the right thing. 
 There is a slight romantic relationship that begins between Gretchen's ex Marcus and Sonia, but it is strained because of things from the past, and because Sonia wonders if Marcus is really the murderer. The romance doesn't take center stage, which is awesome, but it created some nice moments, lighter moments, that broke up the darkness of the story. 
 The mystery itself was a good one. I would think I had it figured out, but then something would happen and I would question myself. The first guess wasn't right, but I should have stuck with my second one! The mystery definitely made this story! I liked the darker undertones, and learning the darker side of Gretchen, and all of the other characters. There are definitely no innocents in Take the Fall. 
 So, for the most part, I really enjoyed this story. I did. I was fully invested, and ready to reach the conclusion. Unfortunately, the conclusion left me wanting. In a HUGE way. The story just ended. Abruptly. We weren't left with even a clue as to what was going to happen to the guilty person. It just ended with a big fat question mark. Now, I don't mind an open-ended story. But I want to be left with at least some information so that I can speculate about what might happen. That just isn't the case with Take the Fall. And it sucks. Ye Be Warned!
