The Fear of Falling


Review: The Fear of Falling - Amanda Cowen - August 2018


This book started with a good premise of friends to lovers romance and set in the college scene which I usually love. Usually, I would finish a book in a day or two max. The Fear of Falling took me about three days to complete. I have to admit I was enjoying it and then about halfway through - the book was starting to grate on me. I then had to push myself to finish the book, and this was a first for me as I usually am not a continuer with books, if I can't get into it then it's out the window. The character of Ella annoyed me, and I was so angry with her and wanted her to freaking get over herself and to stop playing games and stop pussyfooting around Ryan with this whole passive aggressiveness of "we should be just friends." It's like you have feelings for your best friend, go for it. Stop suppressing your feelings as you only end up hurting both of you and the others around you and Shame on you Maisie for putting a stop to their happiness telling them that their relationship will ruin the group friendships - hello what about you and Jayce? I love friends to lover and college romances just like the next person but make the characters annoying, and it leaves me angry and frustrated which The Fear of Falling did. I wanted to on multiple occasions to shake Ella and even Ryan - Be a man and tell her straight up you are freaking in love with her.
If you love F2L novels and NA/College fiction and don't mind game-playing, then you may enjoy The Fear of Falling more than I did.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
