Falling
by Jane Green
Falling by Jane Green (6/15/2016)
I wanted to like this book and did in parts, but overall it left me a bit cold. It was a light read that would suit a summer beach or long plane ride. While I liked the Dominic, the male lead, Emma, the female lead, drove me nuts. She was so insecure and reactive. I wanted more maturity. Also the love was instant and neither character seemed to trust it. There was little chemistry to justify the insta-love. I did think the little boy Jesse was written well. He was as changeable and emotional as children can often be. He added a lot to the book.

As I said, I wanted to like this, but it was just okay for me. I think if the main characters had been stronger people it would have been more enjoyable. As it was, I kept wanting to shake them and tell them to grow up. Also, the ending felt manipulative and rather crappy.

I was happy to receive this book as part of the early review program. I wish my review was more positive. I will give Jane Green another try though. I have heard good things about her other novels.
