The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen

3.5

emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really love how the disability and struggles of the main character are described -- that's the best part of this book. You really feel for Corey and wish her the best, because she deserves it. However, the romance between the two main characters felt somewhat forced. I thought they spent way too little quality time with each other to fall so head over heels in love. The conversations weren't very deep, they mostly focused on their shared disability and I suppose it's great that they connected on that, but it still seemed flat. I wish the author spent more time describing Hartley's POV, because I didn't really relate to him all that much.
