Review: The power of love
Rating: 4 out of 5

Be My Downfall by Lyla Payne is another book in the Whitman University series. This is a standalone novel so you do not need to read the others to understand this one. But, the characters are introduced in the other books as friends of the previous main characters, but this is their time to shine!The previous two books about Whitman University were really light reads, but Lyla Payne took a much different approach with Be My Downfall. It has much darker material and it did take me some time to process what all was happening. Most people I went  to college with, including myself, were known to partake in an "adult" beverage from time to time, but Be My Downfall takes an in-your-face look into college students and alcoholism.I found myself rooting for Toby and Kennedy. They have so much to face, to confront, to overcome individually and together. Lyla Payne has once again wrote a story that readers could connect to and By My Downfall is a reminder that the power of love can help us overcome anything.
