The Upside of Falling Down by Rebekah Crane

4.0

The sole survivor of a plane that crashed in Ireland from America wakes up with amnesia. Her lovely nurse is gentle and kind with her, and lets her have a quick moment to prepare herself for meeting her father once he arrives at the hospital to collect her.

She believes he's her dad--and seems nice enough from what she can tell while peeking around the corner at him--but she can't look this stranger in the eye and cause him more hurt with her lack of emotional ties with him. So she takes off, talking a hospital volunteer into letting her stay with him until her memory comes back and she can be herself when she reunites with her dad for good.

In the process of waiting to find out who she was, she discovers who she wants to be.

Rebekah Crane has a way of writing what seems like easy reading, but weaves quirkiness and serious issues in with a deft hand that makes them have just the right weight when they hit. A fun read with romance, family, and finding yourself.
