I really liked this story, but l personally would have liked it if it was shorter. I still liked it though.
This was a sweet story. I felt for Rowe and really liked Nate. I think my only real problem was that the characters were a little too young for my preferences. Not the author's problem. I think I would have liked it more if I was younger. Sometimes I enjoy characters this age, but this wasn't one of my favorites. Good writing and interesting story though.
I just couldn't get into it 🤷🏼♀️

Alright, cue the sappy, cliched, romantic music montage... That pretty much sums up this book. But sometimes that is exactly what I am looking for in a book, and this one really fit the bill. It was pretty much what I expected from a new adult romance. And for the most part I really enjoyed it. It was just those occasional eye rolling moments that really kept me from getting too excited about this story. I don't mind a touch of cliche, though. And I really wanted to like this book more than I did, but the one thing that keeps me from bumping it from a 3.5 to a solid 4 is that it was at times really, really sexist. And that bothered me more than any of the cliches.
The story's saving grace for me, however, was the major topic of the book (which I will save for you to learn on your own, no spoilers here...) It is an interesting issue that I have not seen addressed in anything else I have read before. I thought that Scott approached it with a delicate and realistic hand, without crossing that line of making it gimmicky instead of honest. And I have a lot of respect for that.

My heart is bursting with so much love for this book. I'm having a hard time organizing my thoughts and feelings as they are quite strong. I have rarely felt strongly for a book except if it's one with a tragic ending as I tend to inhale those kinds of books. But this book doesn't have that tragic ending; there was just a tragic occurrence in one of the character's life and it's up to her if she'd let it stop her or make her find the strength to move forward.
First, I just have to say that I'm in love with Nate Preeter. Who wouldn't want a guy whose good to his brother, loves his parents so much and would definitely love to meet your parents? Oh, and did I mention that he's not one of those guys who fool around with a lot of girls. He's a one-woman-forever guy. Heck, can I please meet someone like him? He's just perfect! There were times that I felt he was too perfect but he balances it when his "being a guy" slips through (Read the book to know what I'm talking about!).
Also, I love Rowe. Rowe is such a spunky girl but has wounds that are embedded too deep. Rowe has been through a lot yet she pushes herself to take a step forward. She tries to let go of her fears even if it's piece by piece. She forms new friends, hangs out with them and eventually falls for someone. I love that it's a gradual thing with her as she doesn't immediately come out of the shell she has made for herself. She taps on it, focuses on its cracks and taps on them slowly, letting it crack more eventually breaking huge pieces of it.
I also like Ty, Nate's brother. He's the type of brother one would definitely love to have. He can be crass and direct but that's because he loves you. He can also push you to what you want and would support you through it.
This is Falling is about facing yourself, healing the wounds deep inside and forging relationships strong enough to get you through whatever you're going through.
