I do love a good rock star story and for the most part Everybody Falls was right up my street! Jackson 'Jax/Jack/Jacks' Wynter is the messed up bad boy and former guitarist from rock band Wynter's Vicious. Following the death of his older brother and bandmate Denny, Jax is out of rehab and living with his Grams. Lacey inherited a bakery from her grandmother and is trying to build a quiet life for herself away from her destructive and abusive mother.Everybody Falls is a good example of how removed certain celebrities are from everyday life. Jax was a teenager when the band became successful and is completely clueless when it comes to simple things like washing up, grocery shopping and paying bills. Lacey on the otherhand is organised and capable, she has had to look after her selfish mother for most of her life - I liked them as a couple because they balance and help each other.In many ways they are the antithesis of one another; Jax is every bit your bad boy musician. He's used to groupies and not caring about girls, whilst Lacey lacks experience with guys and is almost afraid of men.Jax's Grandmother or 'Grams' was a great edition to the book. She provided some great one-liners and was often the source of both the funniest and most poignant moments.I was really moved when I found out where the title came from (you'll understand when you read it) and I felt it provided an interesting message and commentary on life.There is a fair amount of sexy times/smut, so this one's definitely more of a NA or even Adult book. Some of the sex scenes were a little awkward and the dirty talk scene had me in hysterics (I'm not sure if that was the point) but I enjoyed the story and will definitely read the next book in the series.4 Stars in my Sky!
