The Year We Fell Down
by Sarina Bowen
3,5/5
Warning: the review below might reveal important information about the book, therefore you could get spoiled.
I enjoyed this book, it was a fun, diverse read, but nothing out of the ordinary. The characters really grew on me, and partly tempted to continue the series eventually. There are though a few things that bothered me:
- the romance between the main characters started out a bit too insta-lovey for my taste;
- I did not appreciate the fact that it was almost okay to cheat because the girl that's with the love interest is considered "shallow" or "dumb", I'd have thought it much more interesting if Corey was faced with a perfectly normal other girl;
- also, this is just me, but I thought the fact that Hartley had shown her a way to skate would have some kind of impact in the end of maybe Corey creating a team of ice hockey for disabled people.
Overall, I liked it, maybe some things could be improved but it is a nice book to maybe get you out of a slump. I did really like Bridger so maybe if I have a little free reading time I'll give his story a go.
