Falling for You by Lisa Schroeder
4.0
Originally, this book was bought as a “filler” between my trips to the bookstore. I’m embarrassed to admit that whilst I didn’t judge the book by its cover, I did judge it based on its synopsis–which led me to believe that I was in for another repetitive story about a teen love triangle. Jump forward a year or so, and I finally will myself to read the book. Boy was my original assumption proven wrong.
Without going into detail and spoiling the book, I can assure you that this book was well worth the read. Books nowadays are introducing strong and inspiring female characters which only seem to exist in either a dystopian setting or as the focus of a love triangle. However, Schroeder, places her protagonist Rae, in the world we actually live in; and while there is a love triangle, it is not the drive of the story or the conflict for Rae. Instead, we the readers, are able to accompany the characters through the hardships of life, and learn that the darkness only wins when you choose to hide in it.
A story of friends, family, and hope–Falling for You will change your view of the world.
