The Fastest Way To Fall by Denise Williams
4.0
3.5 stars
this was an enjoyable (and somewhat predictable romcom) that i loved reading for 2 reasons:
—i loved how body positive this was. i loved how it showed we have days we love our bodies and days where we don't and that's fine. its all part of the process when we're working towards building a healthy life or a healthy relationship with our bodies. britta's posts about this journey of hers were the highlight of the book. they were so entertaining, showed her charming personality and the way she came to conclusions about her feelings and eventually felt comfortable in her body was all so so refreshing! i enjoyed reading her pov so much and at times they felt deeply personal.
—wes and britta's banter. its entertaining and funny to see them communicate and be flirty. even though i didn't feel the tension between them at all times. their romance is cute, fun tropes included here and there and i liked that they supported each other.
wes as a character felt a little mainstream to me. i liked how he got his closures but ultimately, they fell flat. also, there's quite a couple of miscommunications so that front didn't feel nice to read about and made me feel as if the book was dragged enough. communication exists in 2021??
overall the fastest way to fall is an easy to read with a lot of nuance and a forbidden romance! i would definitely recommend if you're looking for a contemporary romance like this!
thank you netgalley and berkley for the arc!
