Can this be considered enemies to lovers? I think so. It was entertaining regardless of tropes.

A long way to fall is an enjoyable - albeit cheesy - lesbian rom-com set in the cozy ski resort of Elk Mountain.
Bridget inherits the resort after the passing of her father, and the feud with the neighbors along with it. determined not to let the flemmings walk all over her, bridget is less than welcoming when kennedy turns up at the resort with no luggage, food or heating.
what unfolds after their initial meeting is a funny, lighthearted story of two girls learning to trust one another and overcoming the decade-long family dispute.
kennedy is the embodiment of chaotic lesbian, she’s flirty and she knows what she wants, while bridget is a little more reserved. I really enjoyed the queer rep in this book, and always love to get my hands on some own-voices books.
in terms of things that weren’t my favorite; this was a little too insta-love for my personal taste. the romance moved very quickly from enemies to lovers, and it takes only five days for one of the characters to drop the L word (love, not lesbian). As well as this, despite finding a lot of the dialogue amusing, some things the characters said did feel a little unnatural to me.
as a whole, it made for some easy light reading.

Bridget had found the love of her life. And she was never letting her go
Thank you so so much NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the e-arc !!!!!
Currently screaming so bad because of how good the book is OH MY GOD.
An enemies to lovers romance with family feud and snow? Count me in.
Elle Spencer made a brilliant work with A Long Way To Fall with the angst between the characters at first and the stories behind them and how comforting it felt when they actually TALKED about what was going on and trusted each other (I actually teared up).
So enjoyable and funny, a lighthearted masterpiece that I couldn’t bear myself to stop reading.
Definitely recommend to people looking for something fast and adorable to read !!

The Bergs vs. the Flemmings was quite the showdown and I absolutely loved every second of this wonderful story! Kennedy’s sense of humor was the highlight of the shitshow that had become her stay on Elk Mountain. Bridget’s calm, cool exterior was enough to counteract Kennedy’s fire and their chemistry was off the charts. This book was such a delight to read and I could not put it down. This is a low angst, low drama, quirky adorable romance. Thanks Elle Spencer for another amazing read!
I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

And when they did finally end up together, everything Bridget did to Kennedy was just completely overlooked with no apology whatsoever. Also the fact that we didn’t even get a resolution for the main complication in the story, unless you count the one sentence in the end.
