Best Whitman University book yet! Be My Downfall is the first book that I've read primarly from a man's point of view and it was beautiful. Toby's heartache was my heartache. Toby's fear for Kennedy was my fear. Toby's love was my love. The story dove into some really tough topics for me and was done with such a truth, that it sucked me deeper than I could have thought. Love doesn't cure all things but it can make us want more for ourselves. Toby's growth in figuring out how to love someone through their pain and selflessly is inspiring. At times Kennedy seemed like a lost cause, but the same moments that gave Toby faith, gave me faith. It makes you root for both characters and gives hope and light in the dark, deamon riddled world of addiction. Now...is there a 12 step program for getting over Lyla's writting - becuase I'm hooked?
