London Falling is a beautiful story about reality, love, and the unexpected. Reality television has more often than not the feeling of being stage or even scripted. London James thought the same when her professor assigns s her and her Communications 224 partner, Beau to analyze and be the reality dating show “Love Match.” London and Beau decide that just going on highly over the top dates based off the ones on the show is not enough to bring out real romantic feelings.London is a Straight-A student, who only needs Communication 224 to graduate and she is determined to keep her Straight-A status. Beau maybe pre-law, but he is a live in the moment and experience life type of person. London cannot see herself falling in love on a few dates with someone like Beau right before graduation and leaving for California. This seems like a slam-dunk way to end college, but it may not be as easy as it seems as Beau opens London up to new experiences.I liked the way “Love Match” was incorporated into the story and actually becomes an integral  part of London and Beau’s story and relationship. London has been so focused on her stuffing and theatre that she never had the “normal” college experience. While I admire her focus and drive, I think Beau is a perfect balance for her. Beau makes London stop and experience life around her. Falling in love with Beau is not in London’s plan and it could cause her to fail Communications 224.London Falling is a delightful story and does not completely revolve around the experiment keeping the story fresh. I liked the story development and T.A. Foster is writing style. I would most defiantly read something by her again.
