The Falling by Anna Todd

3.0

---

The Falling is an extremely slow burn, almost a little too painfully slow. I wanted to enjoy this one more than I did, but will I read the sequel? Most probably. The miscommunication trope is strong in this one and some pages I found it frustrating, while other pages I found it to be a little endearing as I could see myself doing the same thing. Karina and Kael have a far less toxic relationship than other characters Anna Todd has written, but at the same time I wanted more fire from the both of them. I understand this started as a very short novel originally titled The Brightest Stars, and I feel as though now that it is going to be a potential series, this may just be the build up to the next book. It just left me wanting more than some broken hearts at the end. (This is not a spoiler; you find this out at the very beginning of the book).
Thank you to Netgalley and Wattpad Books for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.
