Review: A cute romance, could do without the ex boyfriend though

Fall with Me was an enjoyable read. It is a fairly short book, at around 200 pages so you can easily read it in one sitting. There were many cute scenes. I loved the dates that Jenna and Sutton went on. The paint-balling date was great. I loved the dynamic between the two of them. Even when they were "pretending" for the sake of their revenge it seemed so real to me.I felt so bad for Jenna. I can't imagine having a friend or a boyfriend that would do that to me. For me, the whole story was about the romance between Jenna and Sutton. To be honest, I didn't care much about jerk ex-bf or jerk bff. Anyone that would treat me that way is not cool in my book. So I was fine with whatever revenge they wanted to get. And watching them fall for each other along the way was just icing on the cake.I will admit that I did see the Lacey thing coming a mile away, but even with her explanation, I found it hard to forgive her. And her ex boyfriend is the biggest jerk-wad on the planet. Holy cow. I wanted to punch him so bad. Pretty much any time he was in a scene. Sutton is so different than him. I thought it was crazy that he was even considering that they were similar. At All! Yes, ok Sutton slept with a bunch of girls in Chicago and had more than a few one night stands, but that is completely different than constantly cheating on your girlfriends. Sutton is adorable and loyal and so thoughtful. I felt bad that he was so down on himself. It was clear that he is smitten with Jenna, and I was a bit smitten with him too. I loved that his mom was the one to set him straight at one point as well. It was great.Fall With Me is not only a lovely romance, but it is also a sort of liberation of Jenna. It was great to see her become herself again throughout the course of the story. She was so upset at the start, but throughout the book she was described as spunky and strong in her past, and by the end of the book I was really happy to say that I saw her become that strong young woman again. Her character development was just as much of a star of the story as was the romance between Jenna and Sutton.  While I could have done without the focus on the jerky ex, I did really love Jenna and Sutton.*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest thoughts. I was not compensated for my review.
