Michelle Falkoff writes young adult novels that tackle heavy subjects through accessible, character-driven stories. Her debut, Playlist for the Dead (2015), follows a teenager trying to understand his best friend’s suicide through a playlist left behind. Pushing Perfect (2016) deals with the pressure of college admissions and the dangerous lengths students go to for perfect test scores.
Questions I Want to Ask You (2018) is set in a small town where two teenagers uncover family secrets, while How to Pack for the End of the World (2020) brings a group of teens together in a survival scenario. Falkoff’s books share a focus on young people navigating situations where the adult world has failed them or put them in impossible positions.
