Falling Into You (Falling #1) By Jasinda Wilder Part 2


Sunday, September 15th-Finished

Kyle and Nell were best friends since birth, everything one could experience as a child, they experienced together. When they were 16, they turned from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. Everything was perfect, until that one fateful night in August. After Kyle died, Nell didn't know how to breathe without Kyle.

Nell and Colton find themselves in New York together and Colton wants nothing more than to help Nell finally grieve over her loss.

Together they help each other.

This story was beautiful; I didn't know how I was going to like it because I knew Kyle's death was coming. I was bracing myself, but nothing prepared me. I felt the pain that Nell felt to watch Kyle say "I love you" as his last words, I felt my heart wrench. When Colton and Nell talk to each other, you feel the passion they have for each other, but also feel the guilt they both carry.

This book does make you believe you can move on after you lose the one you love. Whether that person is a best friend, lover, family member, time may not heal all wounds, but time does make it easier to move on. While reading this book, I was thinking of people who I have lost in my life, some at young age, others not so young, some not even human (though they liked to act like they were). It's amazing how you do not realize that time has gone by.

I couldn't imagine, nor do I wish to experience what happened in this book. But my heart goes out to anybody that has lost their lover and has survived it and found happiness again.

Quotes:

"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to ruin yours." She stops thrashing and laughs. "Did you just quote The Princess Bride at me?" "Maybe."

'Hot heart-blood leaked from my face. From my eyes and my nose and my mouth. Not tears, because those would never stop. This was just liquid heartbreak seeping from my pores."

"You can't hold it in forever," Colt said. "Yes I can." I had to. "You'll go crazy. It'll come out, one way or another." "Better crazy, than broke."

Until my next Blog when I have chosen another book.
