5.0
In a world where everything is seemingly the same, I feel I’m always in pursuit of originality. At the same time, I’m realistic and will settle for something that has great characters and some suspense. I don’t expect to be surprised, (though if you can surprise me, I’ll read anything you write and follow you forever).
Falling for Grace isn’t the same old boy-meets-girl / girl-meets-boy, conflict, HEA that the world is over-saturated with. I couldn’t stop turning the pages and once again put my life on hold to keep myself submerged in this cute little small-town world.
Between the small town and Grace… she’s a brilliant character. None of that agreeable, letting-the-boy-get-his-way-to-keep-the-peace nonsense here. She doesn’t take any crap. She stands up for herself. She has her own sense of what’s right and lets it rule her. She’s strong, despite the fact that her mother IS everything I loathe… she sees what’s wrong with it and does better for herself. The fact that Conley wrote the mother like this is brilliant - it makes Grace’s strength stand out that much more.
Conley is a master designer when it comes to her characters, and her worlds. I’d kill to spend more time in this town.
I did predict all of it - but that’s what I do. Falling for Grace is an utterly addictive work of art.
Formatting: Gorgeous - I literally stopped to admire it at times.
Editing/Proofing: Seems professional, mistakes noted, but not distractingly so.
Overall: 4.5 stars.
