Fall Into You
by Charlène Boutin
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I’m so thankful for her sending me an ARC.
This is a quick, easy, and cozy read about Sophie, a single mom of three, who ends up reconnecting with her ex-husband’s friend, Will. We see the challenges faced by single mothers, especially as they try to navigate running their own business, while balancing the needs of their children. Throughout the book, we see Sophie lean on Will for support as she learns to balance her own wants and needs, with those of her family.
I loved this book so much – the way Will cares for Sophie’s children right away and how he dropped everything to come take care of them, no questions asked, was so heartwarming and truly showed what his character is like. It was so nice seeing the kids warm up to Will right away, and how he fit in so well with them. In a way, I found Will to be a much better father-figure than Matt (Sophie’s ex-husband) was to the kids. Speaking of Matt, I know he was a side character, but I do wish we got to see a bit more of him aside from the initial meeting. Considering that he had partial custody of the kids, you’d expect to see him more.
The big conflict at the end kind of had me confused (I’m still unsure of how I feel about it) – Will’s response to loving Sophie and the kids is kind of what Sophie implied she wanted to hear – yet she took it in the wrong way?? I feel like it was a lose-lose situation for Will and that no matter what he said, she wouldn’t have been happy. BUT at the same time, I do understand why she felt what she did.
Overall rating: 4/5
