This book had me feelings things I didn’t understand. Rowe I can’t. Her journey in this book had me in tears and Nate was phenomenal. This book is dual POV and even though this was about both of their journeys it felt like Nate was put on this planet to help Rowe grow and she didn’t need him but damn did he help her in the best way possible.

I loved this story!!!! It was soooo good! I loved the characters and the story line! I was hooked very early on and I couldn't put the book down once I started. I also had to pick up the next one right away! Definitely worth the read! This author is great and I will be checking out more of her work, not just this series.
This is Falling. What a beautiful story. There was something about this book that made it so great, especially with the little flashes of heartbreak and insecurity. Ginger Scott really succeeded in dragging me into the plot and the characters and showing me their unique personalities and emotions. She really made the characters real to me and shared their pain and joy. This book was definitely a unique experience that any reader can enjoy.
Rowe was such a contradiction. She was equally scared and outgoing which made for a unique combination when put into difficult situations. She was so brave, yet so easily frightened. She wasn’t the ‘normal’ scarred girl who went back and forth with herself on whether or not she should trust Nate. Once she decided she stuck with it even when she had her doubts. Ginger Scott made her into the perfect character for this book. She was innocent yet mischievous when the time was right and I loved how she challenged Nate.
“You should make more wishes”
I liked how Nate was a realistic guy with a soft side. He didn’t make a major change in his attitude to be with Rowe and that’s one thing that really helped their relationship along. Another plus to his character was the mistakes he made. While they were damaging they weren’t unforgivable and I liked how the author kept it from crossing that line. Some books like to cross that line and then try to back track –> which leaves me with mixed emotions and a dislike for the guy. Nate was the perfect combo. of mushy and manly and every girl will have a crush on him by the end of the book.
Josh was another big part of this book. While he wasn’t physically present, he played a big part in Nate and Rowe’s relationship. The way that he was included in the book was subtle for the most part. His only big role was during the big ‘Revelation and Reveal’ conflict in the book yet this didn’t make him unimportant. His influence on Rowe put a lot of pressure on Nate and it was exciting to see how he would handle it!
Overall this book was super great and I can’t wait to read book 2, which is about Ty and Cass. Throughout This is Falling, the book gave little updates on their relationship and I am so excited to see their story. I pretty much fell in love with him during this book so I know the next is going to be amazing.

I read the first half in one sitting. It was a little addicting and enjoyable but at the halfway point it seemed to be a little long and dragged out so I skimmed some chapters in the second half and couldn't help comparing it to the Ivy Years series because I love the length of those novels. Overall, it wasn't too bad though. A little cliche, but mostly cute.

I absolutely loved this book.
I think Rowe was such a relatable character and I liked her and Nate’s chemistry a lot as he had so much patience for her trauma.
Definitely recommend this one

There's nothing spectacular about the book blurb, but I was hooked. Call me a sucker for traumatized girl saved by the night in shining armor story..
I just wish there was more depth to the characters. They seemed trivial and stuck in high school still. Rowe gets a pass. She IS stuck in high school, feeling jipped because she missed out on all those experiences. So her character, while annoying after a zillion pages to still be so immature, is more true to reality. But his?? Nope. He's a jock. Nate should be strong. Confident (oober baseball star!). More of an alpha male.
Instead, he seemed weak, too sensitive. Protective but not enough. Jealous but not really. Strong, but refers to other dudes as "wide" (????). He loves but it's not life altering love. Even his love of baseball seemed half baked, and the whole my-brother-made-me-love-it-for-myself was glossed over and didn't feel genuine.
I liked it less and less the longer I read.
