I liked Noah, but couldn't connect with Beth. Story was slow moving for me.

A happy accident. Looking for the other 'Before I Fall' led me to this romantic read. Usually, not my forte, but yet engaging and romantic enough to have me happily flipping pages.

Wow, just Wow
Ms. Scott knows how to draw her readers into the story and give all her readers a fantastic book. I'm sure her real life experiences of her own tour of duty makes all of her books more gritty and real.
With Before I Fall we meet Noah and Beth who need each other more than they will ever know. Noah went to war whole but comes back with scars and a fear he can't fit into a world that isn't the military. Beth is taking care of her father who has physical and emotional scars from the war also. She has been taking care of him while she fights with the VA for proper medical care. But when Noah meets his new tutor, Beth, sparks fly and they realize they need each other to finally heal.

This beautiful story took me completely by surprise. Beth has the weight of the world on her shoulders. She's in school, works, takes care of her injured vet father and tutors. She's barely hanging on, trying to find help for her dad who can't get the help he needs through the VA. Noah returns to college after being injured in the war. He has secrets and demons and he struggles every day. The chemistry between these characters is pretty amazing from the beginning. What really surprised me about this book was the level of emotions I felt while reading this. My heart really broke for both Beth and Noah and the struggles they both were going through but at the same time, this was such a gorgeous love story. Beth and Noah are the type of couple you really root for. Noah is so damaged but he has such a good heart. He's a really good guy who suffered through something awful and is just trying to survive day to day (side note - he's also not a manwhore! YAY!.) Beth is selfless and you really just want to see her catch a break. Big props to the author in the writing of this book because I really did not want to put this down, it's fast-paced and engaging from the first page and I can't wait to read more by this author. I'm really looking forward to more books in this series! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance!

ACTUAL RATING IS 3.5
Before I Fall shows the effects of war on the person and those around him. It shows how a person can be strong and survive not only by himself but also by the love of the people he has.

As an active duty military spouse, this hit close to home for me. We may not have to deal with the VA yet but we've all heard the horror stories.
This was really good. I wasn't sure what to expect since this was a new author for me but i was not disappointed. Noah & Beth are good together and I would love to read more about them in the future!
