I was really excited to read Fall With Me, but sadly, it didn't quite reach my expectations. It wasn't that it was a bad book, (because it was actually pretty good.) its just that it, and its characters were completely forgettable. In fact, I wrote this review a little over two weeks after reading the book because I had gotten an advanced copy and I had to go re-read it so I could better remember the finer parts of the story. The two main characters, Jenna and Sutton were annoying and went back and forth in their relationship with each other. It got frustrating and midway through I just wanted them to walk away. The whole plotline of the book revolved around Jenna's fiancé (Adam) cheating on her with her bestfriend and Sutton's sister, Lacey. Adam and Lacey were both deplorable characters and at the end we were supposed to empathize with Lacey and forgive her and I just couldn't do it. No matter the reasons why they got together, I couldn't forgive it and feel anything besides disgust with her, and I couldn't see how anyone else could either. The plan that Jenna and Sutton came up with to break Adam and Lacey up never really came to be anything, which was disappointing because it was one of the things that drew me to the book in the first place, I was hoping for so much more from it. Also, Jenna and Sutton had known each other for years, so by the time the reader became involved in their lives it felt like I was missing something, I never really got the connection between the two and that was frustrating. I would have liked more backstory to them. Overall, it was a nice, quick read. I would recommend it to someone looking for an easy read.I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
