This book was good but I don’t think it was missing something or could’ve been more than it was.
But that is not to say I didn’t enjoy this book. Because I did! I couldn’t put it down. I just feel like there were things missing and I just don’t know what it was that could’ve made this a 4 or 5 star read.
I really loved each character. Lex is probably my favorite out of the group…..
And the ending of this book…. Made me go right into book 2.

4⭐️ does this book have issues? Yes. Do these characters have tons of problems and are never going to last past high school? Also yes! Did I care? Not at all! I thought this book was emotional and entertaining af! If you’re looking to pick your books apart for literary substance, look away from this book! But if you read to feel, absolutely read this book!

E.M. Moore became another new to me author this year, because I get the chance to meet her at a signing this July and I decided to start with her Spring Hill Blues series.
Free Fall is a young adult story that deals mainly with loosing a person you love. How a young person deals with grief and about finding first love. Even though there are three guys with Cade, Lex and Reid who's lives revolve not only around football but help the sister of their best friend, after he died, this is not a RH story. It might have vibes of a love triangle, but IM it's far away from being actually one.
The beginning was full of repeating things and phrases and I wasn't sold until about 40% into the book. I can't consider it a full bully story either. Might because the reason why Cade, Lex and Reid pushed Briar.
I actually missed some parent interaction in this book. Because Brady's best friends and his sister weren't the only ones losing him. As well as Briar's behavior should have brought her parents more into the story, not leaving three teenagers dealing with it.
I also had trouble believing Reid that he loves Briar, quite the contrary to Lex.
Nevertheless, the story itself and how everyone was dealing with their grief was what kept me reading. I found myself invested in the characters and wanted to know how Briar develops. Luckily I didn't have to wait for the second book and could continue right away.
