ⓘ About Katie Zhao
She grew up in Michigan where there wasn’t much for her to do besides just bury her nose into a writing journal or a good book. During her spare time she enjoys dancing (badly), singing, reading, and checking out some new Instagram-worthy restaurants. “How We Fall Apart” started in Katie’s mind with the theme of examining toxic competitive academia, and was always meant to explore the ways families and schools push their students toward a breaking point. The people and events in the novel might be fictional but the emotions she poured into it are very real. When Katie was just seventeen years old, Nancy’s age, she came up with the idea for a murder mystery that involved high-achieving Asian Americans. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Descendants of the Zodiac Books series, Katie Zhao has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
