"Ten years ago, my boyfriend killed my best friend. At least that's what Micah has believed ever since her high school sweetheart, Alex, was convicted of murdering her best friend, Emily. A decade later, Micah has finally moved on from the unforgivable betrayal and loss. Now the owner of a bustling coffee shop in her small hometown in Pennsylvania, she's happily coupled up with another old high school friend, the two having bonded over their shared sorrow. But when reminders of her past begin appearing at her work and home, Micah begins to doubt what she knows about Emily's death. Questions raised on a true crime blog and in an online web sleuthing forum force her to reexamine her memories of that fateful night. She told the truth to the investigators on the case, but was there another explanation for Emily's murder? A stranger in the woods. An obsessive former classmate. Or the internet's favorite suspect: Joshua, Emily's outcast younger brother who hasn't been seen since his sister's death. As Micah delves deeper into the case--and her memories of the night--she feels her grip on reality loosening, her behavior growing more and more secretive and unhinged. And when everything spills over into a violent altercation, she flees to the secluded Massachusetts beach town where she believes Joshua is hiding out. As she races to find him, and the missing pieces of that night ten years ago, Micah grapples with how things have gone so wrong and wonders how she, too, might disappear"--… (mehr)

Psychological thriller about the death of a high school girl, Emily, 10 years earlier, resulting in the imprisonment of her lover, Alex. Sadly, that young man was the boyfriend of her best friend, Micah. Now, years later, the death is getting attention from some blogs that are trying to claim that Alex is innocent. Micah has returned to the town, and is now with Ryan, another friend that was there that fateful evening. Micah is relating the tale, while mentioning Joshua, Emily's brother, who was always hanging around the friends.
As Micah looks into the death, she begins to question what she remembers from that night, who was there, and what they were doing. She is asked why she didn't look for her friend, why she didn't help.
As she gets closer to the truth, she wonders who she can trust. When she discovers the truth, she struggles to face it. ( )

Catch Her When She Falls by Allison Buccola is a mystery about a murder committed ten years ago. Micah Wilkes’ best friend, Emily, was killed and Micah’s boyfriend was found guilty of murdering her. Ten years later, Micah is the owner of a coffee shop in the same town when strange clues begin to pop up here and there, leading her to believe that all was not as it seemed ten years before. I found the storyline difficult to follow and the more I read, the less I cared about the outcome. There were too many absent characters, people that Micah spoke of but who were not personally included in most of the novel. This book has promise but I felt that it needed more clarity. It was interesting enough that I would like to read future novels by Allison Buccola. This is my own personal opinion and I’m sure most readers would enjoy this mystery. Thank you to Random House, NetGalley and the author for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Catch Her When She Falls by Allison Buccola is a 2022 Random House publication.

In her senior year of high school, Micah’s best friend was murdered by her boyfriend. As it turns out, her the two of them were seeing each other behind Micah’s back. Now, years later, Micah returned to her hometown and opened a coffee shop. But when she starts receiving strange text messages, it reopens old wounds and sends Micah on a long strange trip to prove her former boyfriend was indeed guilty of murder. But as she digs further into the events of the past, doubts start to emerge, making her rethink everything she thought she knew…

This story is an easy read, and strangely absorbing. There is a need to suspend belief, but I was entertained enough to give it the benefit of the doubt...

Until I got to the end.

I couldn’t believe I got all that way, just to have it end that way. It wasn't plausible in the least and the response to all those revelations didn’t ring true either.

Overall- unsatisfactory.
