A Long Way to Fall by Elle Spencer
3.0
(3.5 stars) (ARC provided by NetGalley)
A long way to fall is an enjoyable - albeit cheesy - lesbian rom-com set in the cozy ski resort of Elk Mountain.
Bridget inherits the resort after the passing of her father, and the feud with the neighbors along with it. determined not to let the flemmings walk all over her, bridget is less than welcoming when kennedy turns up at the resort with no luggage, food or heating.
what unfolds after their initial meeting is a funny, lighthearted story of two girls learning to trust one another and overcoming the decade-long family dispute.
kennedy is the embodiment of chaotic lesbian, she’s flirty and she knows what she wants, while bridget is a little more reserved. I really enjoyed the queer rep in this book, and always love to get my hands on some own-voices books.
in terms of things that weren’t my favorite; this was a little too insta-love for my personal taste. the romance moved very quickly from enemies to lovers, and it takes only five days for one of the characters to drop the L word (love, not lesbian). As well as this, despite finding a lot of the dialogue amusing, some things the characters said did feel a little unnatural to me.
as a whole, it made for some easy light reading.
