Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing an eARC of Five Ways to Fall Out of Love in exchange for an honest review.
“There’s a difference between giving up and knowing when it’s the right time to let go.”
Five Ways to Fall Out of Love was one of the best books I’ve read this year. It was a sweet, fun, and adventurous read, and full of feels.
Aubrey Cash is a senior in high school who is determined to make it through the year without relying on love. After getting her heart broken by Webster, she vowed to make her life romance-free. With her parents falling out of love, Aubrey’s sure that love does not conquer all.
Until she meets Holland, a basketball player who seems like the perfect guy. And also Webster’s cousin. As they start a relationship, Aubrey learns more about love, although she is still hesitant to let others into her heart. But as tensions grow and misunderstandings occur, Aubrey explores the pros and cons of falling in love, while taking a leap of faith.
Aubrey is fearful of falling in love because her parent’s relationship is deteriorating and she is growing farther apart from Webster. Her cynicism of love leads her to believe that happiness only lasts a little while. Instead of forming a relationship, she would prefer to avoid heartbreak than deal with it.
Aubrey used to guard her heart and keep all her feelings bottled up inside. After Webster, she is reluctant to start a relationship again. So when she meets Holland, Aubrey decides to treat their relationship like an experiment. As the book progresses, she learns how her insecurities affect those around her, and that it’s okay to not know how the future will turn out.
Overall, Five Ways to Fall Out of Love was a great coming-of-age novel, with lots of thoughtful themes, relatable characters, and suspense. I enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend it.
