This is Falling by Ginger Scott
2.0

This book was... eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I liked the overall theme of overcoming past traumas, and the way they didn't make the boyfriend the "cure" for all the girl's problems. However, the overall plot was a little messy. It wasn't horrible, but I kept waiting for a big conflict for the couple to overcome when it was just, kind of boring.

I also didn't love either of the main characters. Nate was fine, but I didn't fall in love with him, I was just kind of indifferent. Rowe is kind of one of those "not like other girls" girls. I absolutely hate when the main character puts down other girls because they value appearance or dress nice. As a society, we've grown past the need to bash "basic" girls. It's one of my biggest book pet peeves and this book would've definitely been three stars if it weren't for that.

Overall, the book wasn't bad and I generally enjoyed it, but I wouldn't read it again. I'll probably forgot I read it within the week.
