Five Ways to Fall Out of Love by Emily Martin
5.0
Five Way to Fall Out of Love is instantly engaging, unique, and brimming with complexity.
The novel starts with Aubrey Cash being stood up at Homecoming by the boy-next-door she had been steadily falling in love with all summer long, Webster Casey. Though they spent months talking, laughing, and eating pizza, Web humiliates Aubrey and is determined to ruin her life for the next year. The only problem is, Aubrey has no clue what she did to earn Web's ire. She's clueless and heartbroken and vows to never let love rule her again.
Fast-forward to Senior year and Aubrey's eye is on the prize: getting out of her hellhole house and accomplishing her goal of becoming a vet. Enter a super cute boy at Web's NYE party and every plan Aubrey had set in motion and every notion she had about love and relationships is tested again and again.
What I Loved:
-Pacing was perfect
-Characters are wracked with flaws and so, so earnest
-Dramatic and terrible parental relationships
-Best friend breakups and makeups
-Using science to approach love is my favorite new trope
-Vulnerability.. so much fear of being vulnerable with all of these characters
