This book begins with a trigger warning, which I appreciated since I have had my own struggles with mental health. I'll admit, in the beginning I had a hard time completely understanding the two main characters, but as I got to know them better, they both grew on me. On the surface, this is a romance story with good amount of spice, but it digs so much deeper with topics about mental health, family issues and personal growth. I liked the relationship between Addison and Noah, especially with how Noah embraced Addison as she was, instead of walking on eggshells like everyone else around her. I thought the book playlist (a song for each chapter) was a nice touch, even if I didn't always listen to it while reading the book. This book is impressive for a self-published debut author - I would have never suspected this just from reading the book.

I really enjoyed this book! I stayed up all night reading it because I could not put it down. I am very surprised this is Brittany Rianne's debut. This truly is an amazing story and a solid debut.
This story follows the unexpected connection between Noah and Addison. Addison is a law student who struggles with mental health. Her mental health impacts every facet of her life, which results in her harboring a lot of anger. She feels she is broken and unworthy of love. Noah is beyond swoon-worthy! I LOVED how he continuously told Addison she was not broken and validated her feelings. He encouraged her to embrace her rage and showed her it was not a weakness. Noah didn't walk on eggshells around her or treat her like she could break at any moment. Although it was hard for her to accept, and she tried to push him away every chance she got, the support, patience, and care he gave her was what she needed. Addison made him work hard for her attention, but Noah didn't give up. He loved every part of Addison ("broken bits, rage and all"), and that was beautiful. I enjoyed witnessing their individual growth and the growth of their relationship. The character development was amazing. The banter, passion, and spice were perfect!
Falling for Fury is well-written and explores mental health, relationships, trust issues, and trauma. The struggles detailed in this book were realistic and authentic, and I truly resonated with this story. I can't wait to read what Brittany writes next.

What an absolutely brilliant debut novel! It's so much more than just a love story, it's a story of growth & self acceptance. It tackles some really difficult topics (anxiety & depression) in a very real & vulnerable but also delicate way.
This was a 24hr read for me & if I wasn't sick, I'm pretty sure I would've finished it in one sitting.
I enjoyed the story, adored all of the characters, even the side characters & the banter was brilliant, I'm a sucker for good banter 🤩
I could tell from Addy & Noah's not so meet cute that I was going to love them together & I freaking did! Noah helped Addy feel seen for the strong human she is, for the time in her life. He never tried to change her, he loved & accepted her for who she is 🥰
Addy made Noah work for it & he was there every step of the way willing to put the effort in. He was boyfriend GOALS before he even had the title!!
Rosie & Casey might have been overbearing at times but their love for Addy shone so bright? The are the definition of soul sisters! Rosie is freakin' HILARIOUS!!! I hope she gets her own book!!🤞🏻
Ridiculously excited to read Casey & JJ's story 🤩
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts
Really liked the storyline but the editing could do with some cleaning up. Things like changing abbreviated words eg “it’s” to “it is” didn’t make the conversations seem genuine and more like robotic speak at times. Again the storyline was great but it just made the book very hard to read.
